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.”
