YEREVAN, MAY 27, NOYAN TAPAN. It is envisaged that official delegations
of Slovakia will visit the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh at the
beginning of July and in September 2008. According to the information
provided to a Noyan Tapan correspondent by Ashot Grigorian, the Head of
the Armenian community of Slovakia and the Chairman of the Forum of the
Armenian Unions of Europe, the organization of those visits is attached
importance to as a step directed at the solution of the recognition of
the independence of the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh by Slovakia.
According to Ashot Grigorian, that process wil need at least one-year
hard lobbyist work. In this respect, special importance was attached to
the conference to be held by the Forum of the Armenian Unions of Europe
in Bratislava, the capital of Slovakia, on May 29-30, where a call will
be made to the Armenian communities of different countries to be after
the recognition of the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh with the same
activeness, which is used with regard to the recognition of the
Armenian Genocide. In case of the absence of that activeness, in the
estimation of the Chairman of the Forum of the Armenian Unions of
Europe, it will be impossible to confront the Azerbaijani lobbying with
respect to the Karabakh issue. According to him, the volume of the
military expenses of Azerbaijan surpasses the budget of Armenia and the
Armenian communities should find ways for compensating that inequality.
In addition to this, the Armenian communities can reach equality in the
arms of armies of Azerbaijan and Armenia with smaller expenses than
those, which have provided the current advantage of Azerbaijan.
"During the conference the problem of supporting the process of the
recognition of the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh abroad will be set in
front of the whole Diasporan Armenians as a compulsory problem equal to
the support for the recognition of the Armenian Genocide. We will also
speak to Stefan Harabin, the Minister of Justice of Slovakia, within
the frameworks of the visit to Yerevan on May 26-28 on that subject in
order to make his knowledge in the Karabakh issue deeper," Ashot
Grigorian mentioned. According to him, Stefan Harabin has declared in
the Slovakian press that he was categorically against disposing air
space for the planes of the United States of America for bombarding
Serbia. That was a meanness committed by Slavonic country Slovakia
towards another Slavonic country: Serbia. At the same time, the
Slovakian Minister was categorically against the creation of another
moslem state, in the face of Kosovo in Europe, which he considered to
be a criminal crime by the countries and the political figures, who
have contributed to it. During the conversations with Ashot Grigorian
he also spoke for adding another Christian state in Europe as the
Nagorno Karabakh country has a three-thousand-year history, in
difference to Kosovo, the history of which is not basis for proclaiming
it independent.
The Head of the Armenian community of Slovakia added that during the
meetings held in Yerevan on January 19, 2008 by the delegation headed
by Georgi Petrosian, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of
Nagorno Karabakh, and Yan Charnogurski, the former Minister of Justice
of Slovakia, the latter referred to a number of interviews published in
the Slovakian press. The results of the meeting have been introduced to
the government and the Prime Minister of Slovakia. According to Ashot
Grigorian, the circumstance of the meeting with the Minister of Foreign
Affairs of the Republic of Nagorno Karabakh has received great response
in Bratislava, in connection with which corresponding explanations were
given.
