to the US Department of State regarding the US Justice Department
registering `Nagorno Karabakh Republic representative office in
Washington’.

The spokesman of the Foreign Ministry Tahir Taghizadeh told APA that

office. He said that Nagorno Karabagh office in Washington has been
functioning as a non-governmental organization since the 90s of the
last century.
`Every year when the office try to include the word `republic’ during
the registration Azerbaijan prevents it .If the office was registered
as a diplomatic mission, the Department of State not the Justice
Department would have registered it,’ Taghizadeh underlined./APA/
