“The position of Azerbaijan Republic supporting the territorial integrity, sovereignty and inviolability of borders of Ukraine remains unchanged. Azerbaijan condemns all forms of extremism, radicalism and separatism and reaffirms its irrevocable commitment to the principles of sovereignty, territorial integrity and inviolability of internationally recognized borders, which are the core of international peace and security, including the relations of the UN member states. Azerbaijan is in favor of resolving the current conflicts between the UN member states basing on the abovementioned principles through dialogue,” – says the statement.

Commenting on the news story in the journalist Dmitry Yevchin’s reporting broadcasted on March 26. 2014, Azerbaijan’s embassy in Ukraine refutes the views expressed at the meeting of the Council of Europe Congress of Local and Regional Authorities in Strasbourg on March 24-25 by governor of Russia’s Vladimir province, head of the Russian delegation Svetlana Orlova that Azerbaijan recognizes the referendum held in Crimea on March 16 and supports Crimea as a federal subject of the Russian Federation.

“On the contrary, the head of the Azerbaijani delegation, member of Supreme Assembly of Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic Anar Ibrahimov voted for the resolution strongly condemning annexation of Crimea.”
