The press service of the NKR [Nagornyy Karabakh republic] has
described as yet another propaganda move the report of the Azerbaijani
news agency Azartac that the Universal Postal Union has allegedly
ruled that the stamps depicting a Karabakh horse produced by the
Karabakh are void.

The Artsakhpochta [Karabakh post] closed-type joint-stock company
recently issued three new postage stamps – the Artsakh golden horse
and two stamps based on the Holy Nativity scene, the press service of
the NKR government has told Arminfo.

The source added that the choice of the Artsakh golden horse stamp was
not accidental – last year Azerbaijan issued a stamp depicting the
famous Artsakh golden horse and called it an Azerbaijani golden
horse. The issuance of the stamp was an appropriate response to yet
another attack by the Azerbaijani side.
