Australian MP Walt Secord who had recently visited Nagorno-Karabakh
commented on reports in the Sydney Morning Herald that he had invoked
the "wrath of the government of Azerbaijan".
"I make no apologies for visiting the region and showing my support
for Armenia and the Armenian Diaspora, expanding my knowledge of the
Armenian Genocide and visiting Artsakh," said Secord, member of the
New South Wales (NSW) legislative council.
He once again declared his support for the rights of Karabakh
Armenians to self determination stressing that they should have the
right to determine their own political and economic future, reports
armenia.com.au.
"At the next meeting of the NSW Parliamentary Friends of Armenia,
I will be urging my colleagues to consider an invitation to return
to the region," he said.
Walt Secord's visit to Nagorno-Karabakh was criticized by Baku.
Azerbaijan's Embassy in Turkey complained to the diplomatic mission
of Australia.
