presidential elections in Nagorno Karabakh are scheduled for July 19.
According to the press release of the National Assembly, the deputy
parliament speaker welcomed the visit of the Russian MPs to Armenia and
their participation in the observation mission in Nagorno Karabakh. He
voiced conviction that the visit to Karabakh will enable the members
of the delegation get acquainted how people of Artsakh are erecting
their independent state basing on democratic values.
Speaking about bilateral relations, Eduard Sharmazanov said
Armenian-Russian relations are dynamically developing today in all
directions - economic, political, humanitarian, cultural. The deputy
speaker voiced the necessity of expanding inter-parliamentary ties
to ensure further development of relations.
Russian MP from Liberal-Democratic party Alexander Balberov said their
visit is first of all agreed with their conviction in the necessity
of peaceful settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.
MP Ivan Sukharev described Armenian-Russian relations as warm and
friendly, stressing the necessity of implementation of new programs
to reinforce the existing ties.
Artak Zakaryan, head of the NA Foreign Relations Standing Committee
said the decision of the Russian MPs to observe the presidential
elections in Karabakh is a brave step amid Azerbaijan's inadequate
assessments to it.
Zakaryan described such behavior as short-sighted and wrong which
though results in more people getting interested in Karabakh's fate
and wanting to get familiarized with the situation there on site.
Denis Dvornikov, member of Russia's Public Chamber, who also
represents Russia's International Right Association, noted that
Karabakh issue should be settled through international right to
self-determination. "There cannot be second opinion in this issue,"
he said.
