ArmInfo. Baku accused the chairman of the National Council of Switzerland Dominique de Buhman of bias and support of racism. Baku's resentment was caused by De Buhman's statement in Yerevan regarding the fact that the people of Artsakh have the full right to choose their destiny as well as other peoples. "Speaker of the National Council of Switzerland Dominique de Buhman, abusing his official status, made biased statements during his visit to Armenia that contradict the policy of neutrality of Switzerland, which harmed the negotiations on the settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.In the speech of the chairman of the National Council of Switzerland in Yerevan to the internationally accepted language, what he said could be regarded as the segregation and support of racism, "said Foreign Ministry spokesman Hikmet Hajiyev, APA reports. At the same time, he reminded that Buhman visited Nagorno-Karabakh without proper notification in 2012, and thereby "violated" Azerbaijani laws. "With this visit and statements made from Yerevan today, he is trying to justify Armenia's aggression against Azerbaijan," Hajiyev said. It should be noted that Chairman of the National Council of Switzerland Dominique de Buhman stated at a joint press conference with his Armenian counterpart Ara Babloyan on February 6 that the people of Artsakh have every right to choose their destiny. "This issue should be resolved exclusively within the framework of negotiations, taking into account the UN conventions, the right of peoples to self- determination, together with representatives of the OSCE Minsk Group." The people of Nagorno-Karabakh have the right to choose their destiny, like all other peoples, only in this way can peace and stability be achieved in the region, "the Swiss speaker said.
