BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 17. The Dutch side,
on another occasion, has been demonstrating a biased approach
vis-à-vis Azerbaijan and the post-conflict situation in the region,
Spokesperson of Azerbaijan's Foreign Ministry Aykhan Hajizada said,
Trend reports.
He made the remark commenting on the local media inquiry
regarding the claims in the International Security Chapter of the
Government Program of the Netherlands published on September 13,
2024.
" First and foremost, it is unacceptable that
this country has identified the liberation of the occupied
territories of Azerbaijan as a“takeover of Nagorno-Karabakh”.
Karabakh region has always been an integral part of our country and
was under the illegal occupation of Armenia for nearly 30
years.
Turning a blind eye by the Netherlands to this illegal act of
Armenia is regretful. Azerbaijan's measures to liberate these
territories were a solemn right of our country based on the norms
and principles of international law that could not be misjudged
this or another way.
Moreover, we resolutely reject the misnaming of the Karabakh
region of Azerbaijan with fake names as“Nagorno-Karabakh”. This is
just another blatant manifestation of the territorial claims of
Armenia against Azerbaijan. We once again reiterate that there is
no administrative or geographic unit in Azerbaijan called“Nagorno
Karabakh”, and every state and organization has to refer to the
geographic names in the internationally recognized territories of
Azerbaijan standardized by the relevant authorities of the Republic
of Azerbaijan that are also accepted within the United Nations
Group of Experts on Geographical Names.
We call on the Dutch side to put an end to such statements that
further undermine the bilateral relations between Azerbaijan and
the Netherlands and hinder the future development of the region
based on respect for the norms and principles of international
law," Hajizada added.
