Security guard did not let the Fokus journalist attend the International Black Sea Economic forum

October 24. An officer of the Department of State Security did not let the journalist of the Fokus magazine, Dmytro Orlov, attend the opening of the International Black Sea Economic forum, where the prime minister Mykola Azarov was giving a speech, and for which the journalist was accredited. Orlov informed Telekrytyka of this fact.

According to Orlov, he received accreditation for the International Black Sea Economic forum through the PR agency “PRP” and came to the location in advance, in 15 minutes before the opening. Yet at the entrance a security guard did not let him through. The guard, who showed the ID of the Department of State Security Andriy Haponenko, stalled the journalist at the entrance for half an hour, causing him to be 15 minutes late for the opening.
