Senator Simitian comments on his inclusion in “black list” of Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry

“Though Azerbaijan’s decision is disappointing, I will continue my activity in this direction”, said US senator Joseph Simitian commenting on inclusion of his name in the “black list” of Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry for his visit to Karabakh.

Armenia-origin senator has recently visited Baku, Yerevan, then occupied Karabakh region of Azerbaijan without permission.

When he returned to the USA, Simitian said the step of the Azerbaijani side “will not concern him”.

The senator said that “I wasn’t warned directly by Azerbaijan” and noted that after hearing the concern of Azerbaijani officials on Nagorno Karabakh, he visited Khankendi for hearing the opposite side’s opinion.
