The youth movement "Irali" of Azerbaijan protested against the
countries receiving invitation for participating in Armenian
youth flight "Base" ("Falcon") scheduled for 26 July – August 1 in
Nagorno-Karabakh, Farhad Mammadov, the co-founder of the youth movement
"Irali", told Trend.

This event is planned within the framework of the second Pan-Armenian
festival "One nation, one culture". Within the 7-day event,
it is planned to hold about 40 meetings in regions of Armenia,
Nagorno-Karabakh and Javakhka.

The youth flight will bring together more than 2000 people from
Russia, Italy, USA, Austria, Australia, Turkey, Britain, France,
Iran and Syria.

Mammadov stressed that in connection with this event, the movement
"Irali" is planning to send appeals to the embassies of the countries
recognizing the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and receiving
invitation to the Armenian event. "It will be stated in the appeal
that each illegal activity in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan
will be condemned. Besides, the visit of citizens of these countries
to the territory of Nagorno-Karabakh unless the war is finished will
be assessed as disrespect for the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan,"
Mammadov told.

According to Mammadiov the financing of such events by the Armenian
president and the conducting of them in Nagorno-Karabakh negatively
effect the peaceful regulation of Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
