Azerbaijan urges tourists not to travel to country's occupied territories

Azerbaijan called on foreign tourists to refrain from traveling to the country’s occupied territories.

"Tourists visiting Nagorno Karabakh should know that their actions contradict the international law," Azerbaijani Culture and Tourism Minister Abulfaz Garayev told journalists.

He made the statement while commenting on the recent announcement of Armenian tour companies that they offer tours to Nagorno Karabakh.

He said Nagorno Karabakh is occupied by Armenia and visiting the occupied areas is illegal.

"The World Tourism Organization supports Azerbaijan's position and condemns tourists visiting the occupied territories," Garayev said.
