ArmInfo. Artsakh is a country  where real democracy exists and where people do struggle for the security of democratic principles and values, where the word and mind freedom exists. This was stated by by Andre du Bus, the law maker of  Belgian Parliament. 

As  law makers fro Belgium, our visit to Artsakh is important,  because after returning to Brussels we will tell our colleagues about  the Artsakh, about its values, about the principles being governed  by. It is not a simple trip to Karabakh, we came to determine common  points of contact. In this respect, I would like to mention three  important dimensions  assuming possible cooperation, particularly -  regarding the health care. I think, we could cooperate in the aspect  of  medical insurance and culture. For instance, francophone days are  being marked nowadays here, and we will participate in the  events  related. Of course it is also tourism - I am sure  that the tourism  sector could be successfully developed in Artsakh as well. 

In his turn, Emmanuel De Bock, another Belgian law maker, expressed  his support to Artsakh regarding the establishment and  protection of  democratic values in the country. " Thanks to your efforts, democracy  reached here as well. We understand how hard it is to protect these  values. Sometimes even Europe does not succeed with that, but we want  to state that we are beside you in respect to democratic values  establishment," the law maker mentioned. 

He mentioned also that the main purpose of Belgian law makers visit  to Artsakh is to determine clear aspects of cooperation and  experience exchange possible sectors. De Bock accentuated also that  it is necessary to keep on with maximum efforts to increase the  international reputation of Artsakh.  Meanwhile, Pierre Compagnie,   the member of Regional Parliament, stated that on March 20 their  delegation held meetings with Artsakh highest  authorities. "Based on  results of those meetings I could say that it is not separatists  living here, wishing to get their own by all means. Your struggle is  a struggle for values, and you pay a high price for that," Compagnie  summarized.
