Azerbaijan to demand explanation from Czech Foreign Ministry on ambassador’s statements
Azerbaijan’s Embassy will demand an explanation from the Czech Foreign Ministry regarding the anti-Azerbaijani statements of the country’s ambassador to Armenia, Hikmat Hajiyev, Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesman Hikmat Hajiyev told on Friday.
Czech Ambassador to Armenia Petr Mikyska earlier claimed that the declaration by Azerbaijan of European Parliament members Frank Engel (Luxembourg), Eleni Theocharous (Cyprus) and Jaromír Štětina (Czech Republic) internationally wanted for their illegal visit to Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is not a legal but a political step.

Hajiyev noted that the Czech ambassador to Baku will also be summoned to the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry.

“If indeed these statements were made by the Czech ambassador, then this contradicts the norms and principles of international law. On the contrary, the Czech ambassador, with such statements, politicizes legal issues of a criminal nature,” he said.
