Fri 01 July 2011 11:21 GMT | 7:21 Local Time

Russian journalist Yuri Snegirev has been announced persona non-grata
in Azerbaijan as he has illegally visited occupied lands of
Azerbaijan.
The statement came from Spokesperson for the Azerbaijani Foreign
Ministry Elkhan Polukhov.

On 29 June, Russia’s Izvestiya newspaper published an article
“Karabakh does not await a war, but prepares for it” by Yuri Snegirev.

The article contains untrue information.

Azerbaijani city of Khankandi was indicated as Stepanakert and Shusha
as Shushi. Along with this, article is biased and reflects only views
of the Armenian community of Nagorno-Karabakh.
