The Azeri Parliament is discussing a bill "On Occupied Territories of the Republic of Azerbaijan," saying that citizens from countries having visa-free agreements with Azerbaijan and people that are not Azeri citizens may enter the "occupied territories" only after obtaining a visa from the Azeri Foreign Ministry or Azeri embassies abroad and permits from the Azeri interior and defense ministries. Those who will break this rule will be held criminally liable.
Though having no such law so far the Azeris have still been very negative to people visiting Nagorno-Karabakh. As a result a whole group of artists, writers, scientists, journalists and politicians have been declared personas non grata in Azerbaijan.
