Cannot create a native symlink in not current directory

[Пётр Б.]

ln -s x y

Everything works.

ln -s x ../y

>ln: failed to create symbolic link ‘../y’: No such file or directory

Now it is interesting. WHAT IS THIS. Am I not getting something?

Same command works perfectly with non-native links.
