YEREVAN, AUGUST 15, ARMENPRESS: The Azerbaijan's blacklist includes
from Slovakia the President of the Forum of Armenian Associations of
Europe (FAAE) and the President of the Armenian community of Slovakia
Ashot Grigoryan, as well as the First President of the Slovakian
National Council František Mikloško. As reported by Armenpress,
the Forum of Armenian Associations of Europe touched upon this issue,
the press release of which says in particular:
"Years ago Ashot Grigoryan paid an official visit to Baku with high
ranking officials of Slovakia. Grigoryan has not planned the second
visit to Baku and considers it to be a loss of time. Today we would
like to talk about the book of František Mikloško "Signs of the Time"
published in May 2013 in Bratislava.
František Mikloško included in the book two articles about Armenia
and Artsakh, where he expressed his admiration towards the Armenians
and especially those, who live in Nagorno Karabakh.
Mikloško evaluates Armenia and the Armenian Church as the "lungs" of
the Eastern Europe, without which Europe would not have been Europe and
concentrates on the fact that the base of the 20th century's genocides
was the Armenian Genocide of 1915. The author emphasizes clearly that
the Armenian Cause is considered to be the entire Europe's issue,
as well as Slovakia's.
According to František Mikloško, the Europe's Christian and cultural
values are seriously endangered and Europe is obliged to protect them
and the protection should be started from Artsakh. "Losing Artsakh,
we will lose Armenia and endanger the Europe's future", - this is the
credo of František Mikloško, which is expressed in his activities
of the latest years".
As there are more than two million Armenians in Europe, forming
significant local communities in 26 different countries, the Forum of
Armenian Associations of Europe (FAAE) was founded in Geneva in 1998.
Its goal is to facilitate co-operation and solidarity among Armenian
communities in Europe in order to meet the changing needs of the
European Diaspora and to promote the interests of Armenia and
Karabakh. FAAE membership is open to any Armenian association in
Europe that has democratically elected representatives and which
agrees to adhere to the FAAE charter.
Included in the FAAE today are Armenian communities and organizations
from 18 countries of Eastern and Western Europe. The Forum is
pluralistic and deals with all issues of interest to its member
organizations, including international relations, human rights issues,
economic co-operation and cultural matters.
The Armenian Business Forum of Europe is organised in such a way
to respond to the needs of Armenian businessmen in Europe to meet,
discuss their common interests and create the necessary network of
contacts to their respective businesses. Representatives of the US
and Russian business communities are also present at these meetings.
