Expert: Azerbaijan treats people on grounds of raceMay 10, 2011 - 18:04 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Director of Caucasus Institute, political analyst Alexander Iskandaryan said that sometimes “cave and aboriginal” attitude towards policy is observed in our region. People, including journalists and even politicians, treat other persons based on share of some nation’s blood in them, like was the case in 1930s. “Sergey Buntman indeed says that his grandfather is Armenian, but the father of Philip Kirkorov, who was cordially received in Baku, is also Armenian,” Iskandaryan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, commenting on the supposed inclusion of journalist of Echo of Moscow Sergey Buntman in the black list of the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry, if the latter visits Nagorno Karabakh. According to Iskandaryan, articles stating that major part of the Azerbaijani elite is of Armenian origin are published from time to time. “The fact that Buntman refrained from discussing the topic with an Azerbaijani journalist is rather understandable, since it is improper to address similar questions to people,” noted Iskandaryan. Vesti.az Azerbaijani news agency reported that deputy editor-in-chief of Echo of Moscow Sergey Buntman will pay a working visit to Nagorno Karabakh. Azerbaijani journalists are indignant over the fact that Buntman’s grandfather is an Armenian from Karabakh, while, Buntman will arrive in Karabakh without “asking Baku’s permission.” Top stories The Cabinet of Ministers decided on Thursday, November 9 to allocated AMD 120 million to arrange the gathering.
