Sat 02 July 2011 05:37 GMT | 1:37 Local Time
Editor-in-chief of the Izvestiya newspaper Alexander Malyutin intends
to explain to the Azerbaijani authorities.
Azerbaijani authorities are planning to blacklist the journalist of
the newspaper who prepared a report on Nagorno Karabakh.
Earlier, the Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan blacklisted the employee
of Izvestiya newspaper Yuriy Snigirev.
‘The statement of the Foreign Ministry (about the Izvestiya
correspondent) is regretful since measures they want to take against
the journalist, complicated the task that were set to them.
We wanted to make several reports from the area of potential conflict
of Azerbaijan and Armenia, where tensions are growing by some
reports’, Malyutin said.
He said he has not received official notifications about Snigirev from
the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry.
‘We will certainly take all efforts to attain our goal. We will try to
explain our position to the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry and persuade
that we had no evil intentions and only the plan to provide an
objective picture of the happening. We want our journalist to visit
Baku, talk to authorities and visit the conflict area from the side of
Azerbaijan’, he said.
`We are going to reach our goal and get footage from Azerbaijan’, he said.
