Mexica-Armenia lawmakers friendship group: Recognition of the
independence of Artsakh by the Parliament of Mexico in case of correct

Yerevan October 27

Tatevik Shahunyan. Recognition of the independence of Artsakh by the
Mexican parliament in case of correct and purposeful work is not far
off. This was stated in the conversation with the ArmInfo
correspondent by the head of the friendship group of Mexico-Armenia
Blanca Margarita Cuata Dominguez, who on these days visited the
Armenian and Artsakh delegations as part of the delegation of the
Mexican parliament.

According to her, in this direction it is necessary to conduct an
active information policy in order to correctly acquaint the Mexican
political circles with the real essence and genesis of the Karabakh
conflict. "We believe that the Karabakh issue should be settled
peacefully, taking into account the opinion of the people of Artsakh
and the principle of the right of nations to self-determination." The
eight US states are already recognizing Artsakh, and they are subjects
of international law, an indicator and example for all of us, "the
Lawmaker said.

Answering the question about the reason for the relative passivity of
the Armenian-Mexican relations and that, on this background, served as
an incentive for the visit of the delegation of the Mexican parliament
to Armenia and Artsakh, the parliamentarian noted: "The recent
intensification of the Armenian-Mexican relations is due to the
opening of the Armenian Embassy in Mexico City and the appointment of
the Ambassador (Ara Ayvazyan), who conducts very effective work.It was
his initiative and suggestion that the members of the Mexico-Armenia
de-group arrived in Armenia, and he also invited us to visit Artsakh,
divas us while on the "black list" of Azerbaijan, which includes all
foreigners visiting Artsakh. But this fact is not confused and did not
stop us, and we decided to visit Artsakh. "

The parliamentarian admitted that the visit to Artsakh made a great
impression on the members of the delegation: "I can say that this is
an independent state with its democratic institutions and attributes
of power, and in this context the fate of the people of Artsakh can
not but excite us." The will of the Karabakh people in the settlement
conflict must be taken into account without fail. "

Speaking about the possibility of recognition of the Armenian Genocide
by Mexico, the deputy noted that this is only a matter of time. "We
need to do some research work in this direction, and the Mexican
parliament will recognize the Armenian Genocide as well, as many Latin
American countries have already done."

She also noted that the opening of the Armenian embassy in Mexico, the
appointment of the ambassador, as well as their visit will necessarily
stimulate the activation of bilateral relations and mutual visits at a
high level. "I think that our visit is intended to be a preparatory
step towards the organization of the visit of the Armenian President
to Mexico," the parliamentarian said. She also reported that a report
will be prepared for the Chamber of Deputies of Mexico on the results
of the visits to Armenia and Artsakh, stressing that the first visit
at the level of parliamentarians took place, but this trend should be
continued at a higher level, since a great deal has already been done
in this direction Job. "We have to do a lot of work in the direction
of rapprochement between the two countries," the parliamentarian said.

Within the framework of the visit to Armenia and Artsakh, the Mexican
parliamentarians held meetings with the presidents of the two Armenian
republics, the leadership of the RA and NKR parliaments, as well as
with the heads of foreign affairs agencies.
