Azerbaijan to protest at Egypt over distortion of its territory
The Azerbaijani government will protest at the publication of a map
at the Egyptian news website that attributes part of the country’s
territory to arch-foe Armenia.
The map, posted on Moheet.com, the Moheet Media Company’s website, shows the Armenia-occupied Upper (Nagorno) Garabagh region of Azerbaijan and the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic as Armenian territory, Azerbaijani Ambassador Faig Bagirov said. Azerbaijan's Embassy in Cairo will send a note of protest to Egypt's Foreign Ministry as well as the Ministry of Information and the Ministry of Communications and Technologies due to the distortion. Also, a corresponding letter will be sent to the Egyptian company, Bagirov said in Cairo.
The Moheet.com website contains information on the Egyptian cinematography week in Baku.
Upper Garabagh is an Azerbaijani region occupied by Armenia since a 1994 cease-fire ended separatist hostilities that killed an estimated 30,000 people and ousted about one million Azerbaijanis from their homes. Armenia continues to occupy Upper Garabagh and seven other Azerbaijani districts in defiance of international law. Years of peace talks have brought few tangible results.*
