Attacks by Armenian nationals on buildings of Azerbaijani diplomatic missions cause serious concern – MFA

BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 18. In recent days,
the attacks of the Armenian nationals living in foreign countries
on the buildings of the diplomatic missions of Azerbaijan have
caused serious concern.

According to Trend, this is stated in the statement of the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan.

“These attacks, containing elements of vandalism and terrorism,
are aimed at causing harm to diplomats and their property, and are
characterized as criminal acts.

We strongly condemn the criminal actions of radical Armenian
groups and expect a responsible attitude to their duties from the
structures responsible for preventing such provocations in the
respective countries.

The Azerbaijani side demands that the acts of vandalism
committed by Armenian radicals be investigated by the law
enforcement agencies of the respective states and a legal
assessment be given to the actions of the perpetrators of these
crimes.

We recall that, in accordance with the Vienna Convention on
Diplomatic Relations of 1961, the host State has a special
obligation to take all appropriate measures to protect the premises
of the mission from any intrusion or damage and to prevent any
disturbance of the peace of the mission or affront to its dignity,”
the statement said.
