Gates to Shusha Two students at the Polish film school in Lodz have
decided against making a film about Shusha in the occupied Azerbaijani
region of Nagorno-Karabakh.

They rethought their plans after talking to representatives of the
Azerbaijani embassy in Poland. Diplomats told them that a visit to
Shusha would be against international legal norms, the Azerbaijani
Foreign Ministry press service reported. The Azeri diplomats also
briefed the students on the history of the Armenian-Azerbaijani
conflict over Karabakh, which has led to the occupation of a swathe of
Azerbaijani territory by Armenia.

Film student Mateusz Wajda said he was grateful for the comprehensive
information from the Azeri embassy and that he and his colleage Pawel
Zelmiski had changed their minds about visiting Shusha.

The embassy also sent a letter to the rector of the Polish National
Film, Television and Theatre School in Lodz about the issue.
