The visit by the Swiss-Armenia Parliamentary Friendship Group led by
Co-Chairs Ueli Leuenberger and Dominique de Buman to Nagorno Karabakh
is over, ArmInfo's correspondent to Stepanakert reports.
It was a fact-finding visit. The Swiss MPs had meetings with NKR
president and parliament speaker. They came out for peaceful resolution
of the Karabakh conflict and the necessity to restore the full format
of the negotiations with participation of NKR.
NKR Parliament Speaker Ashot Ghulyan said at the meeting with the
delegates that Swiss experience in democracy is very important for
NKR because Switzerland is one of the pillars of the European value
system. The delegation comprised parliamentarians from the Party of
Greens, Christian Democrat, Socialist, and Labor parties.
The Swiss delegation also met with the students and the teaching
staff of the Artsakh State University. Dominique de Buman, who is Vice
Chairman of the Christian Democratic Party of Switzerland, said that a
people's right to self-determination and aspiration for establishment
of legal state is respectworthy. The parliamentarian said he is
not afraid of finding himself in the black list of Azerbaijan. "As
parliamentarians we have a right to visit various counties and we
act exclusively in line with our powers. Our goal is to get as much
information as possible," Dominique de Buman said.
