YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 5, ARMENPRESS. Editor of the Azerbaijani Turan news agency Shahin Hajiyev and a group of reporters arrived in Armenia to conduct a professional activity, Armenian foreign ministry spokesperson Anna Naghdalyan told reporters during today’s briefing, reports Armenpress.

“They have submitted an application to the Armenian foreign ministry. After passing through all procedures, like you do, their application has been approved, and Hajiyev and a group of reporters of the agency have arrived in Armenia. The visit exclusively aims at conducting a journalist activity. This is a natural process for us because dozens of journalists apply to the ministry daily for accreditation”, she said.

The Armenian MFA spokeswoman noted that the Armenian side never creates obstacles for limiting the activity of journalists.

Earlier Armenian president’s advisor Tevan Poghosyan wrote on Facebook: “I just gave an interview to the reporter of the Azerbaijani Turan news agency Shahin Hajiyev who currently is in Yerevan. I hope there will be no distortion of words and thought as he promised”.
