The BBC has been criticised from by both Armenian media and the Azeri government on its coverage of Karabagh on its Russian website.

Newspaper Golos Armenii:

The web site does not contain any Armenian view on the Karabakh conflict, excerpt for
“kind human interest stories” about the mood of Karabakh’s Armenian
residents, the newspaper said.

“I think the Ministry of Foreign Affairs must react to this,” said Anar Mammadkhanli, adding that not only BBC, but also some other foreign news agencies send their correspondents to NK without receiving permission from the Azerbaijani authorities.

Some pro-government politicians are blaming the BBC for bias, but they initially reacted to the BBC’s sending a reporter to Karabagh by threatening to suspend their license to broadcast inside Azerbaijan, all because the BBC had not asked ‘permission’ from Azerbaijan.
