ABCNews.com, giving way to Azerbaijani propaganda's provocation,
removed a segment of a feature that recommended traveling to
Nagorno-Karabakh as one of the "Great Offbeat Places to Go in 2012."
In a travel segment posted on Sunday on abcnews.com entitled "7 Great
Offbeat Places to Go in 2012" ranked Nagorno-Karabakh as one of the
places to visit during the year. On Tuesday afternoon, however, the
piece was re-titled "6 Great Offbeat Places to Go in 2012" and the
section on Nagorno-Karabakh was extracted from the original. Reader
comments were not extracted from the web site, Armenpress reports
citing Asbarez.com
"Stay at the recently-built Armenia Hotel in the capital, Stepanakert,
and use the city as your base to explore the region. Go hiking through
snow-topped mountains and fields of yellow and red flowers. Feast on
shish kebob and grilled vegetables. If you're staying with a local,
don't be surprised if you're offered homemade mulberry vodka with
breakfast," recommended the post.
"Don't miss the Gandzasar Monastery, meaning 'hilltop treasure,'
built in the 10th century. Visit it at night to see it lit up in the
darkness," added the feature.
Azerbaijani news agencies responded to the feature, as if trying to
get explanations, in response, ABCNews stated that it would discuss
the issue only with the Azerbaijani embassy in the USA.
