Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry has urged the persons invited to the conference to be organized by Armenia under the pretext of “the 25th anniversary of independence” of the separatist regime established in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan to respect the rules and principles of international law, refrain from illegal visit to the occupied territories of Azerbaijan and from participation in this conference, which serves provocative purposes, according to the statement of the country’s Foreign Ministry Aug. 30.

In accordance with the information disseminated in the mass media outlets, Armenia plans to organize a conference in Yerevan Sept.2-3 and a trip to the occupied lands for the participants under the pretext of the so-called 25th anniversary of independence of the separatist regime established in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan, according to the statement.

It is also planned to organize an international youth conference and other provocative events in the city of Khankendi Sept. 15-18, Azerbaijan’s foreign ministry added.

Armenia, having unleashed the war against Azerbaijan, occupied twenty percent of the country’s territories by using force and ethnically cleansed over one million Azerbaijanis from those areas, as well as committed other numerous war crimes, the act of genocide and crimes against humanity in the occupied territories, the foreign ministry noted.

The separatist regime created on the occupied territory of Azerbaijan is the result of Armenia’s aggression and occupation against Azerbaijan.

The judgment in the case "Chiragov and others v. Armenia" on June 16, 2015 in the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) confirms that the regime is controlled by Armenia and still exists due to the military, political and financial support for that country.

According to the statement, the international community has consistently and unequivocally condemned the use of military force by Armenia against Azerbaijan and consequences of the occupation of Azerbaijani lands.

“In 1993, the UN Security Council adopted resolutions 822, 853, 874 and 884, condemning the use of military force against Azerbaijan and occupation of its territories and reaffirming the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan and the inviolability of its internationally recognized borders,” the statement said.

“In those resolutions, the Security Council reaffirmed that the Nagorno-Karabakh region is a part of Azerbaijan, and called for immediate, complete and unconditional withdrawal of the occupying forces from all occupied territories of Azerbaijan,” the statement said. “Other international organizations have adopted similar documents.”

“The persons, who visited Azerbaijan’s occupied territories, violate the country’s legislation and the corresponding measures will be taken in their regard by the government of Azerbaijan, they may be even banned from entering the country,” according to the statement.
