“The occupied territories are Azerbaijan’s sovereign lands, Azerbaijanis’ passing to these territories and their free movement there cannot be forbidden”
Baku, July 17 (AZERTAC). “The Occupied territories are Azerbaijan’s sovereign lands, Azerbaijanis’ passing to these territories and their free movement there cannot be forbidden,” Azerbaijan`s Defence Ministry has said.
“These persons did not violate border of any state as the Armenian side alleges. Because the lands which have been under the control of the illegally established “fake” regime are the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan recognized by the United Nations,” the Ministry said in response to the Armenian media allegations, made with reference to the country’s Defence Minister Seyran Ohanyan, that Azerbaijani raiding parties carry out the acts of sabotage.
“This is absolutely groundless,” said the Azerbaijani Ministry.
“Criminal leadership of the Armenian Republic carried out aggression against the Republic of Azerbaijan and the policy of aggression against people of Azerbaijan. It was involved in committing the Khojaly genocide.”
