Azerbaijan, Baku / corr Trend K.Ramazanova / Rafael Ibrahimov,
the Azerbaijani Ambassador to the UK, will have a meeting with the
British MPs on 25 July to discuss Vice Speaker of the House of Lords,
Baroness Caroline Cox’s visit to Nagorno-Karabakh, an Azerbaijani
region under the Armenian occupation.

Ibrahimov said in a telephone conversation that he is going to meet
with the British MPs, including Lord David Olton, a friend of Cox,
who visited Azerbaijan but have never been in Nagorno-Karabakh.

Ibrahimov said that the embassy had on numerous occasions raised the
issue of Baroness Cox’s tour of Nagorno-Karabakh. These visits reflect
the Baroness’s private position, whereas the British parliament holds
an absolutely different position on this issue," the Ambassador noted.

According to the Armenian media reports, during her sixty-third visit
to this region, the Deputy Speaker of the House of Lords of the British
Parliament, welcomed the "presidential elections’ held in the so-called
‘Nagorno-Karabakh Republic’ held on 9 July.
