The Karabakh Liberation Organization (KLO) addressed to Petr Burdikin, the Russian charge d’affair. The organization expressed protest against the visit of Vladimir Zakharov, the coordinator of the Caucasus Research Center of the Moscow State Institute of International Relations, also co-chairman of Lermontov society, to Nagorno-Karabakh.
According to KLO, these acts contradict to the norms of international law and humanistic values. Rewarding of Arkadiy Gukasian, the leader of the separatist Nagorno-Karabakh, with medal for assistance to peace on the Caucasus by Zakharov casts shadow on the Azerbaijani-Russian relations and the activities of Russia as OSCE Minsk Group co-chairman country.
The organization demands the Russian diplomat to clarify the situation.
