Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic Karen
Mirzoyan on Saturday visited the Basque Country Parliament, where he
met with Parliament Speaker Bakartxo Tejeria Otermin.
During the meeting, Karen Mirzoyan briefed on the processes of
state-building in the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic and the international
recognition of Artsakh, as well as the current stage of the peaceful
settlement of the conflict between Azerbaijan and Karabakh.
The sides exchanged views on the possibilities and prospects for
cooperation between the legislative bodies of Artsakh and the Basque
Country.
Karen Mirzoyan handed Bakartxo Tejeria Otermin the NKR National
Assembly Chairman Ashot Ghulian's invitation to visit Artsakh.
In the frameworks of the visit, Karen Mirzoyan also met with
representatives of the political forces in the parliament. Touching
upon the Motion about right to self-determination of Nagorno-Karabakh
adopted on the same day by the Basque Country Parliament, Karen
Mirzoyan described it as a positive development and noted that it was
yet another important manifestation of the international community's
support for the continuous efforts of the NKR to develop freely and
independently. He noted that the Motion will contribute to the
developing and fostering relations between the two friendly nations.
Later in the day, Karen Mirzoyan visited the city of Gernika, where he
was received by Mayor of the city Jose María Gorroño.
During the meeting Karen Mirzoyan noted that he represents a country,
where peaceful civilians also fell victims to a disastrous war and
paid tribute to the memory of the innocent victims of Guernica.
The NKR Foreign Minister also visited the sanctuary of the Basque
people Gernikako Arbola (tree of Gernika), where the oath ceremony of
the Lehendakari- Presidents of the Basque Country takes place.
The city of Gernika is one of the oldest places of the Basque country.
During the civil war, in 1937 the city was subjected to air
bombardment and was almost completely destroyed. The famous piece by
Pablo Picasso "Guernica" (1937) is devoted to this event.
