Fakhraddin Gurbanov: "Unlike Armenians we do not deal with falsifications"

The attempts of some private British organizations and companies to carry out an illegal activity in Nagorno Garabagh is connected with the absence of true or any information about the Azerbaijan-Armenia conflict over Nagorno Garabagh.

The due statement was made by Fakhraddin Gurbanov, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Azerbaijan to Great Britain.

On the whole, he highly evaluated the current relations with Great Britain noting that it was one of the first countries to recognize Azerbaijan's independence in 1991.

"Considering Britain's influence in the region, we attach great importance to the development of bilateral relations. Great Britain recognizes the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and plays an important role in the peaceful resolution of Nagorno-Garabagh conflict, supporting Azerbaijan on the level of the UNO and OSCE. The Foreign Ministry of Great Britain observes the activity of the OSCE MInsk Group attentively and has a special representative on the South Caucasus. Great Britain also supports Azerbaijan in cooperation with NATO, accession to WTO and pays special attention to the activity of GUAM, supporting its declarations on the international level", he said also stressing the role of Great Britain in the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative.

Commenting on the recommendations of the British Department of External Affairs to Sunvil Travel to consult the government of Azerbaijan while arranging any tours to the occupied lands, he said that the lack of true or any information about Nagorno Garabagh conflict is a very serious problem.

"Unfortunately, the local community obtains information about the conflict and the entire region mainly from the Armenian or pro-Armenia sources. The embassy has long been conducting due work to settle this problem and fill the informational vacuum with unbiased information. This work has been fruitful. Unlike Armenians we do not deal with falsifications. We just need to bring the truth to the people, as it is much stronger than any scientific technologies of propaganda", he noted.

He also sad that Armenian side attempts to use the lack of information about the conflict, which occurred with the aforementioned tourist company.

"We observe the situation and make everything possible to find the best solution to the issue", he concluded.
