It is a great pity that the names of Azerbaijani territories are still mentioned with fictitious Armenian toponyms in the official information of the peacekeeping contingent of the Russian Federation, despite our repeated appeals.

APA was informed about this by the Ministry of Defense.


The Ministry reminded once again that "the list and map of the residential areas of the Karabakh economic region of the Republic of Azerbaijan according to Azerbaijani toponyms were officially sent by Azerbaijan to the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the previous and current command of the Russian peacekeeping contingent temporarily stationed in the territory of Azerbaijan, as well as to the Turkey-Russia Joint Monitoring Center. We call

on


the command of the Russian peacekeeping contingent temporarily stationed in the territory of the Republic of Azerbaijan to express the names of our settlements in the relevant information with the correct toponyms in accordance with the official documents and maps sent by us.


We emphasize once again that in the official information of the peacekeeping contingent of the Russian Federation dated 03.12.2022, published on the official website of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, the territory mentioned as "Nagorno-Karabakh territory" is the Karabakh economic region, "Mardakert" and "Martuni". The official names of the Azerbaijani settlements are Aghdara and Khojavand, respectively.
