Since the so-called “Nagornyy Karabakh Republic” has printed postage
stamps, Azerbaijan’s permanent mission to the UN and other
international organizations in Geneva has appealed to the Universal
Postal Union (UPU), Matin Mirza, head of the Foreign Ministry press
service, told a briefing today.

He said that the UPU, which includes 190 states, has sent a circular
to all the member countries of this organization, saying that it is
inadmissible to print postage stamps for illegal entities such as the
“Nagornyy Karabakh Republic”.

Apart from that, a statement by the Azerbaijani side about the
illegality of printing postage stamps for the Karabakh separatists was
read out at the 23rd congress of the UPU in Bucharest.
