Azerbaijani Embassy in Germany appealed to German Foreign Ministry with regard to the information posted on APA's web-site with reference to Armenian sources which said German delegation composed of political, social and business figures, including Bundestag member Markus Gizeke is visiting Armenian-occupied Azerbaijani territories.
Embassy second secretary Nasimi Agayev told the APA German Foreign Ministry replied that it has no information on the visit. "German Foreign Ministry officially told the Embassy that Berlin recognizes Azerbaijan's territorial integrity, and they do not recognize so called "Nagorno Karabakh republic." The Ministry also said that they do not organize visits to Nagorno Karabakh in the level of government. German government can not control German NGO's visits to Nagorno Karabakh as such visits are made individually," he said. As to Bundestag member's being in the composition of the delegation visiting Karabakh, Foreign Ministry said this information is false. "Because there is not a person called Markus Gizeke in Bundestag. There was not such parliamentarian in the composition of Parliament in the past 15 years," it said.
