YEREVAN. – Baroness Caroline Cox said by initiating a `black list’,
Azerbaijan tries to intimidate and threaten people who intend to go to
Nagorno-Karabakh.
`I think this is because Azerbaijan is afraid that people will know
the truth,’ Baroness Cox told correspondents of Armenian News-NEWS.am,
tert.am and haynews.am.
`But second, those of us whose names are on the so-called `black list’
treat it like a role of honor. We are proud to be next to other very
good names on that list. We also regard it as a big joke,’ she said.
Azerbaijani MFA issued the list of those individuals that are declared
persona non grata in Azerbaijan for visiting Nagorno-Karabakh `without
permission.’
The Azerbaijani `black list’ comprises 335 names, including famous
Italian singer and actor Al Bano, and world-renowned Spanish operatic
soprano Montserrat Caballé.
