The official website of the Travel.ru company (Russia) says that Nagorno-Karabakh has gained its independence and the interest in the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic is growing at a record pace.
“After a long conflict with Azerbaijan, the NKR has gained its independence and at the moment it has its own government, army and laws. The only road to the NKR passes through Armenia. The citizens of Russia need no visa, all the necessary documents are filled in when entering Nagorno-Karabakh” says the website and adds that after visiting the NKR, the tourists may have problems with entry to Azerbaijan, as the Azeri Government declares the people visiting Karabakh “personas non grata”.
Naturally, this article has caused a wide response in Azerbaijan and Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry Spokesman , Elman Abdullayev, instructed the Azerbaijani Embassy in Moscow to make inquiries into this publication on Travel.ru .
