American journalist covering Karabakh war: "It was easy to go there, but…"

"My first interview with Heydar Aliyev was some kind of introduction to the political rhetoric of the Soviet authorities for me. Later, I was a student of Heydar Aliyev in various ways. He was a great politician and genius personality," said U.S. expert, investigative journalist Thomas Goltz in an exclusive interview to Azerbaijan Television. The interview has been broadcast on the "Week" analytical information program. 

It is noteworthy that T. Goltz is one of the foreign journalists covering Khojaly genocide.

He has recalled the scale of the tragedy: "For the first time in my life, I witnessed such a bloody, horrible event. I was on different frontlines during Karabakh war. I was in Kalbajar. It was easy to go there, but it was a bit doubtful to get out of there."

The American journalist has expressed his admiration with the development road Azerbaijan has gone through and said that the country has changed a lot.
