Karabakh is breathing with democracy and freedom, whereas this does not exist in the other Caucasus countries.
MEP: Karabakh breathes with democracy and freedom
STEPANAKERT, FEBRUARY 21, ARTSAKHPRESS: European Parliament member (MEP) Jaromír Štětina (Czech Republic), who is in the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic on an observation mission during Monday’s constitutional referendum, on Tuesday told about the aforesaid to reporters.
“We are always threatened by Azerbaijan for coming to Artsakh; but despite this, we have not yet been added to blacklist,” said Štětina. “The referendum has no direct link to the process of resolving the Karabakh-Azerbaijani conflict. The Constitution just stipulates certain rights, to which the population of Artsakh voted ‘in favor’ yesterday.
“I hope the international community will see that the democratic institutions here in Artsakh are established. The voice of Artsakh shall always be heard in the world.”
The MEP added that the people of Artsakh give lessons in democracy to the world, and, also, they have the right to self-determination.
In addition, Jaromír Štětina noted that, in the future, the people of Artsakh themselves shall decide whether to join Armenia, or be independent.
