Baku to blacklist publicist Eskin for visit to Karabakh - source
 BAKU. June 29
Russian-Israeli publicist and public activist Avigdor Eskin will be
blacklisted by the Azeri Foreign Ministry for an unauthorized visit to
the 'occupied territories,' as Baku calls the self-proclaimed
Nagorno-Karabakh Republic.
"Avigdor Eskin will not be an exception. He will be blacklisted by the
Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry," a diplomatic source told Interfax.
Every person who visits Nagorno-Karabakh without permission from
official Baku, regardless of his post and status, becomes persona non
grata in Azerbaijan, the source said.
Eskin visited Nagorno-Karabakh on June 28. He said he was present
there "for one and a half days." Eskin had several meetings during his
illegal stay on the 'occupied territories.'

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
