    Joseph Simitian, California State Senator of Armenian descent, who
    visited Baku a week ago, has been officially banned from entering
    Azerbaijan. He has been blacklisted by the Azerbaijani Foreign
    Ministry.

    According to Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesman Elman Abdullayev,
    the Senator has been punished for visiting Nagorno-Karabakh.

    Azadlyg reports that Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev had a
    high-level meeting with Joe Simitian a couple of days ago. During the
    meeting, Aliyev stressed the development of the bilateral relations and
    the necessity of mutual visits for expanding cooperation between the
    two states. Moreover, the Azerbaijani President expressed satisfaction
    with the delegation's visit to Azerbaijan, headed by Joe Simitian.

    "Azerbaijan's leadership was well aware that the State Senator is
    of Armenian descent and has repeatedly visited NKR. The Azerbaijani
    government apparently tried to get propaganda dividends from the State
    Senator's meeting with Ilham Aliyev, but soon they faced the fact that
    Simitian visited NKR, and "the spirit of patriotism" awoke in them.

    The result was that Azerbaijan once again found itself in a comic
    situation," Azadlyg reported.
