Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan has again grown hot over the visit of
foreign citizens to the Nagorno Karabakh Republic. This time, they
have targeted a group of Russian journalists, including Anna Chapman,
ex-agent of the Russian intelligence, author and host of the program
"World's Secrets" on RenTV.
According to 1news.az, the stance of official Baku on the visits
of foreigners to Nagorno Karabakh has not changed. All the foreign
citizens visiting Nagorno Karabakh will be recognized personas
non-grata in Azerbaijan.
The delegation that has lately visited Artsakh comprised also Denis
Dvornikov, a member of the Public Chamber of Russia, Sergey Karnaukhov,
a human rights defender, and Alexander Ryzhkov, a correspondent of
Russian Reporter Magazine and DairyNews, and others.
Earlier, the NKR Foreign Ministry strongly condemned Baku's policy
of sanctions against foreign visitors of Nagorno Karabakh.
"These extremely irresponsible steps of Baku undermine any efforts
of confidence building between NKR and Azerbaijan, which is of great
importance for peaceful resolution of the conflict," the NKR Foreign
Ministry said in a statement.
