Anthony Bourdain banned from Azerbaijan

  • The CNN host’s recent filming of Parts Unknown in a territory controlled by Armenia but technically located in Azerbaijan has upset officials in the Azerbaijani government. Bourdain, says a government spokesperson, ”has been put onto the persona non grata list for his disrespect of Azerbaijan's territorial integrity and sovereignty. Filming a food show on Azerbaijan's occupied territory is an insult to one million Azerbaijani refugees who were forcefully expelled from their homes.”
