Head of Tourism Department under the NKR government Sergey Shakhverdyan
said that tourists have some vigilance towards NKR, but the republic’s
leadership is trying to solve this problem.

Currently, truth about Artsakh is being presented through international
travelling structures, Shakhverdyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter
at a presentation of a guide on Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh in
Italian language.

Azerbaijan, as a defeated party, is doing its best to oppose to the
international recognition of NKR, as well as to the development of
tourism in NKR.

In 2009, 13% growth was recorded in tourism that is a good index for
Nagorno Karabakh, said Shakhverdyan.
