Official slams Azeri FM suggesting visits to Artsakh “dangerous”![]() June 17, 2013 - 18:38 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The Nagorno Karabakh presidential spokesman commented on recent statement of Azeri Foreign Minister Elman Abdullayev suggesting visits to NKR are illegal and dangerous to tourists, the former being an “occupied territory.” As David Babayan told PanARMENIAN.Net “no tourist – celebrity, politician or MP – is under any danger when visiting Artsakh. What’s really dangerous and ridiculous is Azeri blacklist which includes all those who travel to Artsakh. Such a policy line proves there’s danger in visiting Azerbaijan, rather than Artsakh.” The foreign ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan, Ararat Mirzoyan and Jeyhun Bayramov, have arrived in Washington. The CSTO budget for the current year requires adjustments due to the refusal of Yerevan to pay their share of contributions. Six total incidents have burned 19 old-growth trees.
