"Azerbaijan is a democratic state and we cannot prohibit journalist from going where they want," head of the department of press and information policy at the Azeri MFA Tahir Taghizade stated. In his words, it would be more advisable for the Azeri journalist to go to Karabakh after "the seized territories are liberated, communications restored and peacekeepers deployed." "When the issue of return of Azeris to Nagorno Karabakh is discussed the trips of journalists there will be not only possible by essential," Taghizade said.

To remind, Azerbaijani FM Elmar Mammadyarov said there is nothing bad in the journeys of Azeri journalists to Nagorno Karabakh while Deputy FM Halaf Halafov called to bar such trips.
