(MENAFN- Trend News Agency)
BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 6. Armenian separatism
continues on international tourism platforms, Trend reports.
Illegal tourism activities had been organized for many years in
the territories of Azerbaijan's Karabakh and Eastern Zangazur,
which were under Occupation at a certain period, with the support
of the separatist regime, the Armenian diaspora, and the Armenian
state.
Although the primary participants in this process were Armenian
citizens and representatives of the Armenian diaspora who resided
abroad and held citizenship in multiple countries, the arrival of
other foreign citizens, including pro-Armenian politicians, was
also noted.

After the second Karabakh war, the separatist regime and its
supporters attempted to continue organizing illegal trips to
Karabakh.
In the epoch of 'post-truth' diplomacy of the information age,
Armenian efforts to ensure the virtual existence of the so-called
'Artsakh' have also not ceased.
The relevant state bodies of Azerbaijan have recently restored
the names of settlements on the liberated territories to their
original names on electronic maps and other platforms, which the
separatists had uglified.
Similar activities in the tourism sector cannot be ruled
out.
Some well-known electronic platforms still mark restaurants and
residential properties in Karabakh for tourism purposes.
Currently, popular platform Airbnb lists residential properties
(apartments) for tourism purposes in Khankendi and its
surroundings.
A similar situation is observed on TripAdvisor, which is
considered another famous online travel platform in the world. When
you search on a website indicating the Armenianized names of
settlements in Karabakh, dozens of different public catering
facilities and venues pop up.

The preservation to this day on international tourism platforms
such as Airbnb and TripAdvisor, information about tourist sites and
restaurants operating illegally during the occupation in Karabakh,
as well as relevant offers to tourists, can be characterized as a
step directed against the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.
In parallel, this type of platform contains false information
about historical monuments and examples of cultural heritage.
