ArmInfo.It is necessary to speed up the process of establishing direct contacts between Artsakh and the European Union. The Czech journalist, writer, politician, member of the European Parliament Jaromir Stetina told this in an interview with Artsakhpress these days, Artsakh is on a working visit.
"For example, the lobbying system in the EU structures should be built by appointing a representative of Artsakh to the European Parliament. During my meetings with the leadership of Artsakh, I also offered to bring two interns from Karabakh to the European Parliament to practice and exchange experience," he said.
He also stressed that Azerbaijan wants to undermine the political and economic system of Artsakh, and, in connection with this, Baku is trying to intimidate those who visit the republic. "For example, during my last visit to Artsakh during a constitutional referendum, Baku appealed to Interpol with a request to arrest me, but this request was rejected because the organization does not deal with political issues," the European MP explained.
He also stressed that Artsakh has all the attributes to be independent and recognized by the state. "There is a democratic system, all the institutions are functioning, and all this is governed by the new Constitution. In addition, the Artsakh Republic can organize its defense and has a developed and developing economic system. These are important components, and I can personally confirm this because I regularly visit Artsakh over the past 30 years, "said a member of the European Parliament.
