13 July 2011 12:26 (UTC +04:00)

The statement entered to APA from the embassy says: â€œAs a sign of protest to the reports on territorial claims to Azerbaijan and deliberate falsification of Nagorno Karabakhâ€™s history in the special issue of the Ukrainian â€œImageâ€ magazine prepared by Armenia, our embassy in Ukraine has taken several measures. First of all the letter of protest was sent to the Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the editorial staff of the noted magazine. Then the meeting was held with the deputy foreign minister of Ukraine and they were informed about our concern. The Ukrainian officials confirmed that the Ukraineâ€™s official position on Armenia-Azerbaijan, Nagorno Karabakh conflict, repeatedly sounded by countryâ€™s president Victor Yanukovich, remains unchangeable. Published for commercial purposes, the journal with the name of Armenian embassy on the cover shows for what purposes its special edition was printed with the support of the embassy. The printing of the edition of the journal, which is not popular among the Ukrainian readers is rather a step of the Armenian embassy to report to its country.

The letter received by us from the â€œImageâ€ magazine said that all materials of the magazine were ensured by the Armenian side and the magazine will not be put up for sale in order to settle the conflict between Azerbaijani embassy and magazine staffâ€.
