Artsakh people has no less right to master its destiny on its own than the people of Scotland - Armen Ashotyan
The Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh) people has no less right to master its destiny on its own than the people of Scotland, the Chair of Armenia’s National Assembly (NA) Standing Committee on Foreign Relations Armen Ashotyan said at a meeting with Judith Farnworth, Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to Armenia.
As the press department at the Parliament reported, Ashotyan highly valued the UK Cabinet stance on the Scotland referendum and expressed hope that Azerbaijani would ultimately perceive the wide implementation of the right of self-determination of peoples.
According to the release, the interlocutors also discussed the enhancement of the work of the interparliamentary friendship groups and the cooperation opportunity with the UK Embassy to improve parliament capabilities.
Ashotyan and Ambassador Farnworth has also touched upon the cooperation agenda in a wider European context. With this regard Ashotyan has referred to Brexit, suggesting regardless of the outcome, Armenia views Great Britain has a European value system and stand ready for future bilateral cooperation.
