Members of the Lithuanian Seimas-Artsakh Republic Parliamentary
Friendship Group, led by the head of the group Dalia KuodytÄ - , were in
Nagorno Karabakh to participate in the celebration of the 23rd
anniversary of proclamation of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic. The
Lithuanian MPs had meetings with NKR President, Foreign Minister and
their counterparts at the National Assembly.
They discussed issues of cooperation in different fields. Dalia
KuodytÄ - told reporters in Stepanakert that she's not worried about the
reaction of Azerbaijan. `It's Baku's problem,' she said.
When creating the group, the Latvian MPs were guided by the idea that
Artsakh was the first in the Soviet Union to raise the flag of
independence, Dalia KuodytÄ - said, adding that `the voice of the people
of Artsakh should be audible in the world today.'
`We are realistic. We don't think this or that step will help solve
Artsakh's political problems, but it's important to listen to each
other, to have Artsakh's voice heard in Latvia,' she added.
She underlines the importance of Latvian MPs to Artsakh and
dissemination of information about Artsakh in Latvia. According to
her, the cooperation with the Armenian delegation to PACE is also
important.
`I think it's cynical to speak about territorial integrity, ignoring
the principle of self-determination,' she said. According to her, all
countries have their geopolitical purposes and this should be taken
into consideration, but it's also necessary to prove the own truth and
make the own voice heard. No one can prohibit Artsakh from doing
this,' she said.
