“NKR President’s visit to Belgium and his meetings not only contribute to deepening the relations, but also to the recognition of Nagorno Karabakh. During his visit he held meetings with the staff of the Armenian National Committee, the Armenian community of Belgium, as well as with the Belgian MPs. These meetings aimed at strengthening and deepening the relations with Nagorno Karabakh. Bako Sahakyan was the honorable guest at Mechelen city. He left a note in Mechelen’s official book where Presidents, Prime Ministers, Kings of numerous states left their notes”, Peto Demirchyan said.  He said one of the most important issues central during the NKR President’s meetings was the presentation of the real picture of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.

“Nagorno Karabakh supports the maintenance of peace and it moves forward in a democratic way, but Azerbaijan hinders it. Bako Sahakyan said targeted assessments must be given to Azerbaijan. And if the state is not recognized, it doesn’t mean that it has no right to live, develop and have relations with other states”, Peto Demirchyan said.

The NKR President delivered a speech within the academic circles. He held meetings with the Armenian community of Belgium the representatives of which expressed their willingness to support Nagorno Karabakh.

Peto Demirchyan informed in the nearest future the NKR state, political figures will more actively visit Europe since it is very important that they will personally introduce the European partners the Nagorno Karabakh issue.  

The NKR President’s visit to Belgium was initiated by the Armenian National Committee of Europe.
