AZERBAIJAN BLACKLISTS EDITOR OF ARGENTINE’S LARGEST NEWSPAPER

10:01, August 10, 2013

The Azeri Foreign Ministry has published a list of 335 people declared
personae non grata over visits to Nagorno Karabakh, including Marcelo
Cantelmi, chief international affairs editor of Clarín, the largest
newspaper in Argentina, and Eduardo Eurnekian, an Argentine-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.
