Baku, June 9 AZERTAC A citizen of Russian Federation, singer, actor, composer and former member of “Чай вдвоём” group Denis Klyaver addressed an official letter to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs asking for removal of his name from the “List of Foreign citizens illegally visited to occupied territories of the Republic of Azerbaijan”. Denis Klyaver reaffirmed his full respect to the territorial integrity and sovereignty of the Republic of Azerbaijan within its internationally recognized borders, its laws and regulations.

He stressed that the visit should not give a meaning of his disrespect to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Azerbaijan. Furthermore, Denis Klyaver mentioned that his visit to the occupied territories of Azerbaijan by Armenia in no way served for the promotion of illegal regime established in the occupied territories of Azerbaijan, which is nothing other than the result of occupation and aggression.
