The terms for travel of the citizens of any country and stateless persons to the occupied territories of Azerbaijan are being specified through legislation. The Azerbaijani Parliament told APA that the 4th article of the newly-developed law “On the occupied territories of the Republic of Azerbaijan” contains special clauses. The first article shows that the citizens of the states, which have no visa-free travel agreements with Azerbaijan Republic, and stateless persons can travel to the occupied territories of Azerbaijan having got visa from Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, diplomatic missions and passing through the territory of Azerbaijan.
Moreover, the citizens of the states, which have visa-free travel agreements with Azerbaijan Republic, can visit the occupied lands of Azerbaijan through the territory of Azerbaijan Republic basing on the consent of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Interior Ministry and Defense Ministry. The persons violating this term will be punished in accordance with the articles to be regulated in the Criminal Code of Azerbaijan.
The draft law will be discussed at the parliament soon.
