Artsakh is a democratic country, Slovak journalist Libor Spimr Ing says.
He was visiting Artsakh to participate in the celebrations of the May
9 triple holiday. Panorama's camera crew met the European journalist
near the front line, where he is shooting a film on Artsakh. In an
interview with Panorama.am, Libor Spimr Ing spoke about his
impressions of Artsakh and about his film.
`I made my first visit to Artsakh this January. I stayed here for
three weeks. Life is here different from that in Europe and Slovakia.
My film, to be titled `Time,' aims to show that Artsakh is a free
country and that there is no problem here.
"I have said in an interview that in Slovakia, we live a 100 percent
material life, while here in Artsakh people live 50 percent material
life and 50 percent spiritual life. There are 5th and 6th century
churches here - something you cannot find in Europe. I want to show
that the people that live in Artsakh are our friends and that contrary
to Aliyev's allegations, Artsakh is not the enemy of the Caucasus or
the world.
"Unlike my country, no crimes are committed here.
"The democracy that exists in our country is not a real democracy. The
real democracy is here. Why? Because there is a lot of bureaucracy in
our country. In our country, you cannot just go and talk to a
minister. But here there is no problem with talking to a minister. In
my country, very few people know of Artsakh and I think it is a
catastrophe because there are people and churches here, and there is
life here.'
