ANKARA — Amid the uproar over the Turkish intellectuals’ visit to Artsakh, the Turkish Ministry of Foreign Affairs has released a second statement, calling on the Turkish citizens not to visit Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh) without receiving a permission from Azerbaijan, Ermenihaber reported.

Azerbaijan, last month, ordered a criminal probe and issued international arrest warrants against the four Turkish intellectuals Erol Katircioglu, Sait Cetinoglu, Ali Bayramoglu and Ufuk Uras, accusing them of “illegally crossing Azerbaijan’s state border”.
