Russian bestseller magazine makes gross mistake related to Azerbaijan - PHOTO

Day.Az has today received a letter from reader Ali Ganiyev which testifies to it. The letter reads: "Tourism &Rest has published a small article Disputable Tatik and Papik (Stepanakert, Nagorno-Karabakh) together with the same picture of the Azerbaijani monument that Armenians used in a footage in Eurovision-2009 song contest, which also was a gross mistake related to Azerbaijan.

The article also describes the Nagorno-Karabakh as an independent state, gross violation of international principles. The staff of the magazine need to know that Nagorno-Karabakh is an integral part of Azerbaijan which is proved by the UN General Assembly resolutions. Entire world community, based on international law, recognizes Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity. It is noticeable that architectural monument “We-our mountains” is located not in Stepanakert, but Khankandi, Azerbaijan’s original land. We are sure that some pro-Armenia forces were involved in publication of this article who want to appropriate Nagorno-Karabakh also by monuments located in Azerbaijani lands.”

Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesperson Elkhan Polukhov said the ministry has always studied such issues and it will instruct Azerbaijani embassy in Russia to take steps to study this fact, too.
