Nagorno Karabakh politics
The first Speaker of the National Council of Slovakia and current
member František Mikloško came up to the Hetq office to take a look
at Mount Ararat, before heading off to a press conference. On 23 May,
the Slovak delegate was an observer at the parliamentary elections
in the Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh and was amazed by the election
process.
"I saw many election observers from reputable organizations in
Karabakh. We collectively came to the conclusion that the elections
in Nagorno-Karabakh were free, democratic, exceptionally peaceful and
were fully in line with all the standards dictated by the European
Union," František Mikloško said at the Mirror press club.
He was amazed by the active participation of the people of Karabakh
in the elections. "I was told that almost all the elections have had
this level of active participation."
The Slovak delegate found the European Commission's announcement that
it would not recognize the 23 May elections to be absurd and comical.
"That leads us to ask a logical question - what does the European
Union want? After all, these elections lead to peace, democracy and
other achievements, which are needed in this region," said Mikloško.
It was through František Mikloško's efforts that the Slovakian
National Council recognized the Armenian Genocide in 2004.
