The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry considers a decision of self-proclaimed "Nagorno-Karabakh Republic" to rename the Azerbaijani Agdam region by giving it an Armenian name "Akna" ridiculous.
"This decision of self-proclaimed "Nagorno Karabakh Republic" causes laugh," Foreign Ministry spokesman Elkhan Polukhov told Trend.
By the decision of the government of self-proclaimed "Nagorno Karabakh Republic", the Agdam region was renamed as "Akna" and became one of the quarters of the Askeran city, Armenia Today reports.
According to the Armenian Territorial Administration and Local Self-Government Department head Sergei Nasibyan, this decision aims at settling the process of allocating land plots to villagers residing in Agdam, as well as other living issues. "As Agdam does not hold any status yet, it is included in the Askeran urban commune as the Akna quarter," Nasibian told the Azatutun Radio.
