Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry is investigating the information about the visit of Slovakian journalist Andrej Ban to occupied lands of Azerbaijan, announced the spokesman for Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry Elkhan Polukhov. The President of European Armenian Unions Forum Ashot Grigoryan talked on phone to Slovakian famous journalist and asked if he was afraid of possible punitive measures of Azerbaijan’s Foreign Ministry. A. Ban answered that if they do such things towards the independent journalist, then it would confirm our opinion about the freedom of journalists in Azerbaijan, more truly about the restriction of the freedom.”
