Turkish Journalists' visit to NKR is cancelled

PanARMENIAN.Net - Turkish Journalists' visit to NKR is cancelled, well-informed circles told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter.

The journalists were reluctant to understand they need a visa to leave for another country. To visit Stepanakert, Turkish journalists were offered to address a letter to NKR Foreign Minister Georgi Petrosyan. The journalists thought a simple address, "Mr. Petrosyan" would suffice. When told for the second time about correct form of address, they wrote "Dear Mr. Georgi Petrosyan" without specifying his position. After such "misunderstanding" RA MFA refused to sanction the visit. Later, the journalists themselves declared they changed their mind about a trip to Stepanakert.



To enter NKR territory, foreign citizens need to receive NKR visa in NKR Permanent Representation in Yerevan.



A group of Turkish journalists who arrived in Armenia to participate in BSEC Foreign Ministers Summit on Apr. 18, was supposed to pay a 1-day visit to NKR.
