UKRAINE CEASED RECEIVING PARCELS AND LETTERS ADDRESSED TO KARABAKH
In the course of Foreign Minister of Ukraine Anatoly Zlenko's visit to Baku it became known that Kiev authorities had made a decision to suspend reception of all kinds of international post for sending to Nagorno-Karabakh. When reporting about it Azeri mass media make reference to the information provided by the press service of "Ukpochta" Ukraine state enterprise of mail service. It is reported that the decision is made as "the postal service of Azerbaijan does not have the opportunity to send mail to Nagorno-Karabakh because the territorial issue is not politically settled." Neither Armenian Foreign Ministry, nor the Ministry of Transport and Communication has responded this anti-Armenian demarchå. Let us remind that today the head of Ukrainian foreign department will arrive in Yerevan, where to all appearance he will have to comment the strange behavior of the postal service administration.
