Nagorny Karabakh denies accusations of Azerbaijan concerning drug trafficking
The Foreign Ministry of the Republic of Nagorny Karabakh denies "conjectures" of official Baku that the territory of the self-proclaimed republic is uncontrollable. The statement by the Foreign Ministry of Nagorny Karabakh reads that official Baku has expanded a propaganda campaign, accusing the republic of drug trafficking and rendering assistance to international terrorists. This campaign is aimed at discrediting Nagorny Karabakh and undermining its international image, notes the ministry.
"The Foreign Ministry of the Republic of Nagorny Karabakh confirms once again that the republican authorities are ready to receive an international monitoring group and create all conditions for its work on the entire territory which is under control of the Nagorno-Karabakh authorities," reads the statement.
