Fraza Media Holding editor-in-chief Vitali Kustov characterized Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry’s blacklisting Ukrainian journalist Anna Mamontova as a sign of inferiority complex.

“Is it normal for a Foreign Ministry to forbid a journalist from entering the country because of an unflattering newspaper article? Can it simply suggest the Ministry’s deeply-hidden inferiority complex?” Kustov questioned.

“Declaring the journalist persona non grata reminds me of Yushchenko methods which have long outlived themselves. In this context the statement by UNA–UNSO (Ukrainian National Assembly – Ukrainian Nationalistic Self Defence) nationalistic movement leader Mykola Karpyuk, planning to “aid Azerbaijan in restoration of its territorial integrity” seems even more absurd. But then, as the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together,” Analitika.at.ua cited Kustov as saying.
