Great Britain advises its citizens not to visit Azerbaijan
A report published on the official website of Great Britain’s Foreign
Office, two days ago, advised British citizens not to come to
Azerbaijan or to use the Baku underground due to alleged terrorist
threats.
The report has drawn fire from Azerbaijan. The British ambassador to
Azerbaijan, Laurie Bristow, says the report did not describe
Azerbaijan as a dangerous country and that Great Britain did not
advise its citizens to refrain from coming to the country.
Bristow said that London advises all British nationals traveling
abroad so that they can avoid certain problems. He added that his
country advises them to stay away only from Upper Garabagh and other
territories captured through military action.
