On March 14-16 the parliamentary delegation from Belgium visited Nagorno-Karabakh, reported the Armenian media.
On March 15, the delegation was received by the "parliament speaker of Karabakh," Ashot Ghulyan. The delegation from Flanders included the Deputy Chairman of the Senate of Belgium Karl Fonlauven, Member of the Flemish Parliament Karim von Overmeyer, Ward Kennes, Mark Hendricks, and Professor Paul Mirts.
Ashot Ghulyan welcomed the position of the Flemish Parliament, which is for the "preservation of national identity."
Karim von Overmeyer in turn, declared sympathy for the "Democratic Artsakh", calling it "a fortress, not only for Armenia, but also for Europe."
"I think Artsakh is a part of the Christian world," said another deputy from Flanders Ward Kennes.
In turn, Senator Fonlauven likened the struggle of the Flemish for the national identity to the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh.
Further delegation was received by the leader of Karabakh separatists Bako Sahakyan and Archbishop Pargev Martirosyan.
Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry has not yet reacted to the visit and the statements of the Belgian deputies. Recall that such visits are considered a violation of the sovereignty of Azerbaijan and people who have visited Karabakh and other occupied territories without the consent of Baku are included in the black list and are prohibited from entering Azerbaijan. -02D-
