Azerbaijan's ruling party set to send formal requests to U.S. and UK Embassies

The ruling New Azerbaijan Party (NAP) believes official requests must be sent to the U.S. and British embassies to demand an explanation for the information about threat of terrorist attack in Azerbaijan spread by these countries.

"The U.S. and British Embassies turned to the fellow citizens living in Azerbaijan with an appeal for vigilance and warned of the threat of terrorist attack in our country. This matter should be investigated on the ground," NAP Deputy Executive Secretary, MP Mubariz Gurbanli said. "The Embassies should be sent a request with the requirement to explain on what grounds they distribute such information."

Earlier, the U.S. State Department and the British Foreign Ministry warned citizens about terrorist threats in Azerbaijan and called for citizens to be vigilant in the country.

The country is taking all of the necessary measures to prevent threats to national security, Azerbaijani National Security Ministry Spokesman Arif Babayev told Trend earlier.

He added that the relevant bodies of Azerbaijan, including the National Security Ministry, are in control of the situation in the country.
