The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry has instructed the Azerbaijani embassy
in the USA to look into an unauthorized visit by Filip Noubel, senior
analyst of a US-based International Crisis Group [specializing in
Georgia], to Azerbaijan’s occupied territory of Nagornyy Karabakh,
the independent TV station ANS has reported.

“Although official Washington’s position on Nagornyy Karabakh is
known, unauthorized visits to the [occupied] Azerbaijani lands by
certain individuals show disrespect to Azerbaijan,” ANS said.

ANS quoted the Foreign Ministry as saying that Azerbaijan is concerned
about visits to its occupied lands by officials and individuals like
Filip Noubel.
