More than that, Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry “investigates” the fact of Russian journalists’ visit to Nagorno Karabakh.

Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry has included in its “blacklist” Russian Nezavisimaya Gazeta journalists who visited Artsakh.

“Azerbaijan is investigating reports on Nezavisimaya Gazeta journalists’ visit to Artsakh without official Baku’s permission,” Elman Abdullayev, Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesman stated, quoted by the newspaper.

According to NG reports, Foreign Ministry instructed Azerbaijan’s embassy in Moscow to “investigate the facts of the journalists’ visit.”

Earlier NG reporter Yuri Roks published an article headlined “Peaceful Karabakh.” The article dedicated to Artsakh’s 20th anniversary covers everyday life of Nagorno Karabakh people and September 2 festivities in Artsakh’s capital Stepanakert.
