YEREVAN. - Azerbaijani experts are banned to give interviews to the Armenian media.

It is concluded by the Armenian News-NEWS.am correspondents after they tried to contact about dozen of prominent representatives of Azerbaijani political science.

Interestingly, we managed to get an honest and open answer from one of the experts, director of foreign programs, Azerbaijan Diplomatic Academy Fariz Ismailzade.

“Thank you for your interest but I am not giving interviews,” he said.

Asked for a short conversation, Ismailzade added: “I cannot do it. We have a directive.”

At the same time, Azerbaijani and foreign media is full of different articles written based on Ismailzade’s interviews.

Our dialogue with Ismailzade was short but meaningful.

Armenian News-NEWS.am correspondent: Are you banned from giving interviews to Armenians? Am I right?

Fariz Ismailzade: Well, yes…
