(MENAFN- AzerNews) By Sabina Mammadli
Azerbaijani Defense Ministry expressed regret over the
disdainful attitude of the peacekeeping contingent of the Russian
Federation towards its appeals, Azernews reports.
In a statement in regards to the incorrect usage of the names of
Azerbaijani settlements and the“Nagorno-Karabakh territory”
expression by the Russian contingent, the ministry once again
emphasized that this is inadmissible.
“We call on the peacekeeping contingent of the Russian
Federation not to use the noted inaccurate wording in official
information, and we hope that our call will be respected. Moreover,
we demand the correct mention of our country's name on the map
published by them,” the statement highlighted.
Commenting on the official information of the Russian
peacekeeping contingent dated November 29, published on the
official page of the Russian Defense Ministry, the ministry
underscored that the territory referred to as the“Nagorno-Karabakh
territory” is the Karabakh economic region, and the official names
of Azerbaijani settlements mentioned as“Mardakert” and“Martuni'
are Aghdara and Khojavand, respectively.
Moreover, the ministry added that the information of the
peacekeeping contingent that Azerbaijan Army Units allegedly opened
fire in the direction of Shusha, as a result of which two people
were wounded, is unfounded and completely false.
“We categorically deny this information,” the ministry
finalized.
