Azerbaijan has protested to Euronews over what it described as a
biased report broadcast on the channel about the breakaway Nagornyy
Karabakh region.
In a statement on 1 December, the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry said
the Euronews report on the region, which broke away from Azerbaijan
following a separatist war in the early 1990s, was in violation of the
"ethics and rules of journalism".
"According to international standards, the position of both sides
should be reflected in a report. But I regret to say that this report
presented the position of only one side," a ministry spokesman, Elxan
Poluxov, was shown saying on ANS television. "This can be assessed
as both non-professionalism and also as bias," Poluxov said.
