As noted, the reason for the refusal – the lack of accreditation of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Moldova. Shaikhutdinov, according to his agency, was going to Transnistria to allegedly “cover the situation in the region.” At a passport control at Chisinau airport on Saturday, April 30, border guards inspected his luggage and confiscated his passport.
The correspondent stated that his documents were sealed in an envelope and given to the crew, who will return them after landing in Istanbul.
Moldovan Border Police spokeswoman Raisa Novicki confirmed to NM that some foreign nationals arriving at Chisinau airport had been denied entry.
“This decision was made due to the fact that the legal conditions for obtaining a permit to cross the state border were not met,” she explained.
Also on April 29, it became known that the cameraman and correspondent of the Russian “Izvestia” was not allowed to enter Moldova.
