Turkish Journalists' visit to NKR is cancelled, well-informed circles
told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.
The journalists were reluctant to understand they need a visa to
leave for another country. To visit Stepanakert, Turkish journalists
were offered to address a letter to NKR Foreign Minister Georgi
Petrosyan. The journalists thought a simple address, "Mr. Petrosyan"
would suffice. When told for the second time about correct form of
address, they wrote "Dear Mr. Georgi Petrosyan" without specifying his
position. After such "misunderstanding" RA MFA refused to sanction
the visit. Later, the journalists themselves declared they changed
their mind about a trip to Stepanakert.
To enter NKR territory, foreign citizens need to receive NKR visa in
NKR Permanent Representation in Yerevan.
A group of Turkish journalists who arrived in Armenia to participate
in BSEC Foreign Ministers Summit on Apr. 18, was supposed to pay a
1-day visit to NKR.
