UK envoy in Baku says media misquoted him on Karabakh

The UK embassy in Baku issued the following statement on its Facebook page: 

"Contrary to inaccurate reporting in the media, British Embassy Baku would like to clarify that Ambassador Irfan Siddiq during his meeting with students at the Khazar University on March 3 stressed the need for respect for Azerbaijan's territorial integrity and the withdrawal of Armenia from occupied territories. 

“While discussing the planned referendum on independence in Scotland later this year, he noted the importance of the principle of self-determination adding that the future status of Karabakh should also be determined through an agreed peaceful mechanism that reflects the will of all the people concerned."
