The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Azerbaijan would like to remind all nationals of foreign countries wishing to travel to the Nagorno-Karabakh region and other occupied territories of the Republic of Azerbaijan that, due to continuing occupation by the armed forces of the Republic of Armenia, these areas are temporarily out of control of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
Any visit without the consent of the Republic of Azerbaijan to the above-mentioned territories, which are internationally recognized as an integral part of the Republic of Azerbaijan, is considered as a violation of sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Republic of Azerbaijan and as a breach of national legislation, as well as of relevant norms and principles of international law.
Accordingly, the Ministry calls on all foreign nationals to refrain from travelling to the occupied territories in and around the Nagorno-Karabakh region of the Republic of Azerbaijan.
The Ministry would like to remind that those who travelled to the occupied territories without prior permission of the Republic of Azerbaijan will be denied to entry to the Republic of Azerbaijan.
