D. and his cousin K. went to the consulate to get visa for Karapagh visit. None of them speaks Armenian, the lady at the consulate does speak English. She asks: 'Where would you like to visit?' D. says Sushi, K. tries to Step� but could not pronounce it clearly. The lady does not understand Sushi and Stp� and starts firing names among which Aghdam, Kubatli�. They keep repeating yeah, yeah, yeah� Well she says you're not permitted to go to those cities. A couple of hours later the driver goes with them and translates, he also says, 'it's not up to them, we'll go where I drive' and gets visas for them.
K. was perplexed, if those places are not part of the tourist zone why bring them up?

On a serious note, occupied territories are not open to foreigners. As an American or foreigner, if you are planning to start a tea factory or some other factory in Titzmairee, or Agdam forget it. Try your luck in Shushi and Stepanagerd
