High pressure - high temperature experiments for MnTe of NiAs type were performed using a synchrotron radiation as X-ray source and a cubic anvil X-ray diffraction press to produce nonambient sample environment. In the investigated range of pressure (0-67.5 kbar) on uploading and with following temperature rise from 296 to 1273 K (at 67.5 kbar), the structure type of MnTe is conserved. An earlier reported nonlinear behaviour of lattice-parameter c_{0} is not found in the present study. Possible reasons of this discrepancy are discussed. The value of bulk modulus and its pressure derivative were calculated from the pressure-volume dependence by fitting the Birch-Murnaghan equation.
