BUENOS AIRES (Diario ARMENIA ).- The
Azeri Foreign Ministry has published a list
of 335 people declared personae non gratae over visits to Nagorno
Karabakh, including Marcelo Cantelmi, chief editor of International
Policy in Clarín, the largest newspaper in Argentina, and Eduardo
Eurnekian, an Argentinian-Armenian businessman and millionaire.
Marcelo Cantelmi, who traveled to Karabakh in 2005
to
cover the conflict, said that `publishing a blacklist is a despicable
and barbaric act. It is a discriminatory method, historically used by
dictators and tyrants, that intends to punish divergent opinions in a
brutal manner’.
`With this rustic and pathetic system, they want to deny Armenians
rights on their ancestral territory’, he added.
`This list demonstrates that Azerbaijan not only refuses to recognize
the right to self-determination of the people of the Republic of
Nagorno Karabakh, but also uses dictatorial means like ‘blacklists’,
to punish people of any nation in the world that promote social
development, economic investments or accompany the democratic
processes and institutions of Nagorno Karabakh’, expressed Alfonso
Tabakian, Director of the Armenian National Committee of South America
.
