The reports that the Azeri Parliament might adopt a law "On the Occupied Territories of Azerbaijan" were just an attempt to see the reaction of the Azeri society, Armenia and the world community, Deputy Director of the Caucasus Institute Sergey Minasyan told journalists on Tuesday. He believes that such a law would be a gift for Armenia. "It would strengthen our positions in the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process as it would confirm our arguments that unilateral concessions here are impossible," Minasyan said.
The need for such a law was mentioned by Azeri MP Gudrat Gasanguliyev. He said that all non-citizens wishing to enter "the occupied territories" should get a visa or permit from the Azeri authorities.
Later the press service of the Azeri Parliament refuted that information.
