Karen Bekaryan Says Azerbaijan’s Actions Restricting Journalists’ Activities Unacceptable

YEREVAN, JULY 7, ARMENPRESS:

The Azerbaijani authorities' actions, directed to the restriction of activities of journalists covering the Nagorno Karabakh issue, are unacceptable, according to Karen Bekaryan, expert, chairman of "European Integration" NGO.

Karen Bekaryan commented on a release by "Reporters without Borders" that expresses concerns about such actions by the Azerbaijani authorities. The expert said many international establishments speak about this; however no any step is undertaken to prevent it. "This is an indirect proof of that the international establishments should work with the Nagorno Karabakh directly, because if Azerbaijan does not allow reporters to do their job, it means the international community must not be aware of Nagorno Karabakh. The only thing that can balance this is working in Nagorno Karabakh," Karen Bekaryan said.
