More foreigners visit NKR

PanARMENIAN.Net - Despite the global financial crisis, the total number of foreign citizens having visited the Nagorno Karabakh Republic in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th quarters of 2009 increased by 10% as compared to the similar period of 2008, according to the data provided by the NKR MFA Consular Service.

Last year, tourists from Mozambique, Guyana, Venezuela, and Mauritania visited the Nagorno Karabakh Republic for the first time. Among the tourists, citizens of the US, France, Iran, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Switzerland, Canada, Italia, Poland, India, and the CIS countries, especially Russia and Turkmenistan, are prevailing.

Foreigners’ interest in Artsakh continues growing. True information about the Karabakh issue, the history of the country and the inculcation of democratic principles in the NKR contribute to this process, reported the NKR MFA Press Service.
