 Azerbaijan blacklists Austrian MPs over visit to Karabakh July 19, 2013 - 20:14 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Baku's position on foreign citizens' visits to Nagorno Karabakh, which have not been agreed upon with Azerbaijan, is unchanged. Baku will continue considering them illegal, spokesman for the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry Elman Abdullayev said, according to Trend News. "According to the Foreign Ministry's order, Azerbaijan's diplomatic missions abroad urged the citizens of the countries they’re accredited to to abandon such visits," Abdullayev said. A group of parliamentarians from Australian state of New South Wales visited Nagorno Karabakh this week. "Australia has repeatedly voiced its support for Azerbaijan's territorial integrity and these actions do not reflect the country's official position," he added. The Azerbaijani embassy in Australia was instructed to convey Baku's discontent to the country's leadership.   Top stories Six total incidents have burned 19 old-growth trees.
