/PanARMENIAN.Net/ European Parliament member Giulietto Chiesa arrived
in Karabakh not only as an observer of the presidential elections. "I
am more a politician than an observer. I wanted to speak with the
President and the parliament head and establish political contacts. I
have good impressions. The work is organized well. I have read your
laws and rate them as irreproachable," he said.
When asked what reaction he expects from Azerbaijan, he said, "It’s all
the same for me. I am a free person and can go wherever I wish. I have
come here to learn more about this country. I was a journalist once
and have the idea of the situation. But I would like to know more."
Mr Chiesa said he visited Palestine not long ago. "The level in
Karabakh is quite different. People know for whom and why they
vote. It’s not worse than in Italy," he underscored.
When speaking of the possibility of international recognition of
Karabakh’s independence, he noted that the international community
is not familiarized with the situation in Karabakh. "I think time
is needed for the world to get informed of the Karabakh problem,"
Giulietto Chiesa resumed.
