Despite Baku’s ballyhoo in connection with the Turkish NTV film
crew visit to the NKR and the Azerbaijani pressure on the political
leadership of Turkey apropos of this, Turkish journalists keep on
making a request for the NKR authorities to grant them entry visas
to the republic for covering the current events.

"Following the democratic principles and treating with understanding
the journalists’ aspiration to fulfill their professional duty by
getting information from the primary sources, the NKR leadership does
not only raise difficulties, but even support their activity.

The Nagorno Karabakh Republic is open to journalists, irrespective
of the country they represent. The NKR authorities also proceed from
the fact that an objective and detailed presentation of the situation
in the republic to the world will only contribute to the peaceful
settlement of the conflict with Azerbaijan and to the international
recognition of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic," NKR Ministry of Foreign
Affairs said in a statement.
