office. He said that Nagorno Karabagh office in Washington has been
functioning as a non-governmental organization since the 90s of the
last century.

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/
