Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has called on Russia, whose peacekeepers have controlled access to Nagorno-Karabakh from Armenia since the end of last autumn’s war between Azerbaijan and Armenia, to stop denying entry to foreign reporters.

RSF also urges the UN and Council of Europe to ensure respect for the right to the freedom to inform.

RSF writes that since last February, at least ten foreign journalists have been denied entry by the Russian peacekeeping troops controlling access to Nagorno-Karabakh from Armenia via the so-called Lachin corridor.
