Egyptian website publishes Azerbaijan’s map without Nagorno-Karabakh
and Nakhichevan
Azerbaijan, Baku, Jan. 21 / Trend News U. Sadikhova /
Egyptian news website Moheet.com has published an article about
Azerbaijan, in which it presented the map of Azerbaijan without the
territory of Nagorno-Karabakh and Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic.
The article says about holding the Week of Egyptian cinema in Baku
together with Azerbaijani Union of Cinematographs. It will strengthen
the cultural relations between Azerbaijan and Egypt.
The map posted at the Egyptian website indicated the territory of
Nagorno-Karabakh and Nakhchivan as Armenian one.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988
when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian
armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992,
including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994.
The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group – Russia, France, and the U.S. –
are currently holding the peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. General Assembly’s
resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh region and the
occupied territories.
