(MENAFN- AzerNews) By Fatima Hasanova
The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry has once again urged the
command of the Russian peacekeeping contingent temporarily
stationed in Azerbaijan to correctly indicate the toponyms of
settlements on the country's territory, Azernews reports per the
ministry.
'We regretfully state that despite the numerous discontent
expressed by the Ministry of Defense of the Republic of Azerbaijan,
the names of Azerbaijani settlements are still being mentioned with
Armenian toponyms in the official information of the Russian
Federation's peacekeeping contingent,' said the ministry.
Additionally, the MoD opposed the use of the name
'Nagorno-Karabakh' in relation to the Karabakh economic zone.
'An end must be put to referring to the Karabakh economic region
as the `Nagorno-Karabakh territory'. In general, it is inadmissible
to mention Azerbaijani territories with fictitious Armenian
toponyms,' the statement stressed.
In its statement, the ministry calls on the Russian peacekeepers
to follow the official document they have at their disposal.
'We call on the command of the Russian peacekeeping contingent
temporarily stationed in the territory of the Republic of
Azerbaijan to mention the names of Azerbaijani settlements in
accordance with the official documents provided to them,' the
ministry concluded.
In the official information of the peacekeeping contingent of
the Russian Federation, published on the official website of the
Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation on 28.11.2022, the
official names of the Azerbaijani settlements referred to as
'Mardakert', 'Martuni', 'Madagiz' and 'Getavan' are respectively
AGHDARA, XOJAVAND, SUGOVUSHAN and GOZLUKORPU, the ministry
stressed.
