BAKU (Eurasianet)-In a move to keep foreign nationals out of the
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, the Azerbaijani government is compiling
lists of foreigners who have visited the country and foreign
organizations that work with Karabakh’s government, the Bakililar
news service reported on July 28.
Listed individuals who choose to travel to Karabakh can forget about
visiting Azerbaijan, even if they hold diplomatic status, the Kavkazsky
Uzel news service reported, citing Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry.
Foreign nationals who have a Karabakh visa stamped in their passports
will not be allowed into Azerbaijan, the country’s Foreign Ministry
warned.
Bakililar news noted that several Russian pop stars who have held
concerts in Karabakh will never be able to perform in Azerbaijan.
