Russia will reply to Azerbaijan's second note soon - ambassador

The procedure of responding to the notes is not offended. "Do not think that Azerbaijan responds to our notes immediately as well as other states. Sometimes the replies to the notes may delay and sometimes the notes are not replied."

As to the Great Russian Encyclopedia's introduction of so called "Nagorno Karabakh Republic" as independent, the ambassador said he does not agree with the publication's view.

"I have read the Encyclopedia. Encyclopedia is published by private editorial office. So it can not be censored. Soviet Glavlit does not function in the current Russia to censor the publications. Azerbaijan has right to express its views and I respect this right. It means that the Russian Federation has no power to influence private publication in any form. The book gives the simplified position on the issue. It is forgotten that Russia does not recognize Karabakh republic and holds the position that Karabakh is Azerbaijan's territory," the ambassador underlined. APA
