\n The US State Department
\n
\n has advised
\n <\/a>
\n travelers to \u201cexercise increased caution in Azerbaijan due to the risk of terrorism.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n On 10 January, the State Department launched a new system of travel advisories for American citizens traveling abroad. Azerbaijan has been labeled a \u201cLevel 2\u201d country, indicating that travelers should \u201cexercise increased caution\u201d and \u201cbe aware of heightened risks to safety and security.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n The advisory goes on to say that \u201cterrorist groups continue plotting possible attacks in Azerbaijan,\u201d and that possible targets include transportation hubs, markets, shopping malls, places of worship, government facilities, and other public areas and events.
\n
\n Travelers are also advised to \u201cavoid demonstrations.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n The advisory also warns travelers not to visit Nagorno-Karabakh \u201cdue to armed conflict,\u201d citing \u201cintermittent gunfire and occasional use of artillery systems.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

\n Chief spokesman for the Azerbaijani Ministry of Internal Affairs, Hikmet Hajiyev,
\n
\n called
\n <\/a>
\n the advisory \u201csurprising.\u201d \u201cWith the exception of the Azerbaijani territories occupied by Armenian armed forces, the Azerbaijani government is in full control of the country\u2019s security and operational situation,\u201d Hajiyev said.\n<\/p>\n

\n The State Department\u2019s new travel advisory system uses a four-point system to
\n
\n classify
\n <\/a>
\n \u00a0every country according to the level precaution required, from Level 1 (\u201cExercise Normal Precautions\u201d) to Level 4 (\u201cDo Not Travel\u201d). The nature of the security threats in each country are indicated by letters, such as T (\u201cTerrorism\u201d), U (\u201cCivil Unrest\u201d), or N (\u201cNatural Disaster\u201d).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
