Famous tourism website presents Azerbaijani territories occupied by Armenia as “Nagorno Karabakh Republic “

Ministry of Culture and Tourism is developing an appeal to the website

 

 Famous tripadvisor.com tourism website of the Central United States has presented Azerbaijani Nagorno Karabakh region occupied by Armenia as “Nagorno Karabakh Republic”.

 

APA reports that “Nagorno Karabakh Republic” is marked within Azerbaijani territories.

 

The website, playing the role of a database about countries, tourist facilities and hotels in Russian, English, Arabic, French and other languages, provided information about hotels and tourism opportunities of so-called “Nagorno Karabakh Republic” for travelers.

 

Head of the Promotion Department of the Culture and Tourism Ministry Vugar Shikhmammadov told APA that the Ministry is developing an appeal to tripadvisor.com in this regard: “It is noteworthy that Nagorno-Karabakh is marked within Azerbaijan. It is the recognition of the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. However, the region has been wrongly presented as Nagorno Karabakh Republic. We will inform in the appeal that it isn’t a republic and ask them to adjust it.”

 

He also said that the hotels marked on the website should be licensed by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism according to the legislation of Azerbaijan: “We will ask them to remove hotels currently operating without a license in Nagorno-Karabakh from the website.”

 

Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry Spokesman Elman Abdullayev told APA that the issue is being investigated: “The relevant diplomatic mission has been instructed.”
