Azerbaijan, Baku, Oct. 12 / Trend , E.Tariverdiyeva /
The Congress of Azerbaijanis in Sweden sent a formal letter to the Swedish Public Radio and Swedish Migration Board, expressing protest against the false and fabricated program on Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the Congress reported on Wednesday.
The program shows an Armenian family, who asked for political asylum in Sweden, but it has to leave the country as the Swedish Migration Board refused to grant a residence permit.
The representative of the Armenian Diaspora in Sweden claimed in an interview with the Swedish Public Radio that if the family is deported to Azerbaijan, the family will be destroyed.
It also contains allegations about the extermination of the Armenian population and ethnic cleansing in Azerbaijan.
The Congress appealed to the Swedish Public Radio to immediately correct the mistake, pointing out the obviously anti-Azerbaijani nature of the program.
"We are confident that neither the author of this program nor the Armenian diaspora is able to prove the facts presented by them that are a crude anti-Azerbaijani propaganda" the letter reads.
The Congress required to immediately correct the mistake and publish a disclaimer.
The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding districts.
Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. - are currently holding the peace negotiations.
Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.
