Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan: the visit of the M.Caballe to the occupied territories does not contribute to the peace process

The Embassy of Azerbaijan in Madrid  passed a note of protest to the Foreign Ministry  of Spain due to the illegal visit to the Spanish opera singer, Montserrat Caballe, to  the occupied territories of Azerbaijan , according  to  the spokesman  of Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry, Elman Abdullayev.

Caballe visited the occupied territories of Azerbaijan on 4-5 June and met with the leader of Karabakh separatists, Bako Sahakyan.

Abdullayev said  that the note  of the Azerbaijani embassy indicates illegality  of Caballe’s visit the occupied territories of the country without the permission of the authorities of Azerbaijan.

"Her  illegal visit is also disrespect to the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Azerbaijan, in violation of international law. These visits only cause damage to the peace process," said Abdullayev.

A number of foreign media misinterpreted  the note of Azerbaijani embassy to the Spanish Foreign Ministry as a declaration of Caballe  persona non-grata.-06D—
