Something in diplomacy

Apparently Glenn Hughes may be now banned from visiting the entire country of Azerbaijan. Glenn was in the neighbouring Armenia with Derek Sherinian earlier this month to perform with a local band called The Dorians. After the concert in Yerevan, they went to the breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh, which is disputed between the two countries, and played another gig there on September 13. They even met with the local authorities. It is the official policy of Azerbaijan government that any foreign nationals who visit Nagorono-Karabakh without their permission automatically become personae non gratae in their country.

Thanks to Kevin Dixon for the info.

    GH was so fancy
    To get into Azerbaijan country
    Thought he was the aristocracy
    The members that he toyed with
    At the city club, were something in diplomacy….

    Um … people make mistakes, sorry. Maybe he didn’t know. Why should he be responsible for a policy that he didn’t know existed. If he was warned, however, then maybe he should apologize for his oversite …
