"As a rapporteur on Armenia in the European Parliament, I was obliged
to visit Nagorno-Karabakh in order to prepare an objective report,"
Tomasz Poreba, European Parliament MP, European Conservatives and
Reformists Group, told NEWS.am after his visit to Karabakh.
During his two-day visit to Nagorno-Karabakh, he met with leadership
of the republic, but the MP considers his main objective was to
communicate with Karabakh people. Poreba said that he intends to share
his impressions about the visit with the European counterparts. He
also stressed that the Karabakh problem should be solved within the
framework of the OSCE Minsk Group based on Madrid Principles.
The MP also noted that after his visit to Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh
he plans to visit Azerbaijan and Georgia as well. "Despite the fact
that I am the rapporteur on Armenia, the three countries are linked
with each other," he said. By the way, after a visit to Karabakh,
Poreba was included in a "black list" by Azerbaijan. Asked how he
intends to visit the country being in a black list, the MP said,
"My duty is to meet with all parties, to hear their position on
the Karabakh issue. That is my job which I take very seriously,
and nothing will stop me to prepare an objective report."
