    Default Armenian Politics

    I am not sure if this thread woul be of any interest to foreigners but I thought it might be a good idea if I post some news articles concerning Armenia. In this case others can have a hint what is happening in our region full of problems.

    If you go to Armenia and visit Artsakh/Nagorno Karabakh you will be put in Azerbaijani "black list" and refused entry to their country. Also if you have surname accidentely resembling Armenian ones like with endings "ian/yan/uni,etc you will be denied the access to the airoplane even if you have paid for the ticket because no Armenian is allowed into Azerbaijan. If you are planning to visit South Caucasus I recommend you first to visit Azerbaijan and Georgia and leave Armenia for the last, because if you take frist trip to Armenia you will be treated as an Armenian spy in Azerbaijan having big and long problems at customs.

    Australian MP Walt Secord who had recently visited Nagorno-Karabakh commented on reports in the Sydney Morning Herald that he had invoked the “wrath of the government of Azerbaijan”.

    “I make no apologies for visiting the region and showing my support for Armenia and the Armenian Diaspora, expanding my knowledge of the Armenian Genocide and visiting Artsakh,” said Secord, member of the New South Wales (NSW) legislative council.

    He once again declared his support for the rights of Karabakh Armenians to self determination stressing that they should have the right to determine their own political and economic future, reports armenia.com.au.

    “At the next meeting of the NSW Parliamentary Friends of Armenia, I will be urging my colleagues to consider an invitation to return to the region,” he said.

    Walt Secord’s visit to Nagorno-Karabakh was criticized by Baku. Azerbaijan’s Embassy in Turkey complained to the diplomatic mission of Australia.

    I hate to hear news like this. Why can't we all get along!

    We shall not cease from exploration
    And the end of all our exploring
    Will be to arrive where we started
    And know the place for the first time.

    Thank goodness for world leaders like him who display common-sense and compassion.

    Is Naxcivan Armenian or is it a separatist region? I know little about the history of that region. But yes, I agree with Armenia that the Azerbaijani government shouldn't repress people in Nagorono-Karabakh.

    Also:
    The Government of Armenia holds European integration as a key priority in its foreign policy as it is considered a European country by the European Union

    aaa, my quote!

    Nakhichevan is historical part of Armenia which Bolsheviks gave to Azerbaijan.
    Nakhichevan in Armenian means "Noah stayed/landed here", my maternal side is from there. Nowdays many of conferences of orhanization called "Turkic World" is being held in Nakhichevan.

    People of Artsakh/Nagorno Karabakh are not really repressed by Azeri Govt, foreign tourist are repressed

    But we have found how to help out tourists, Artsakh Govt simply doesn't register visit in Artsakh in their passports if they are planning to Azerbaijan afterwards, but it is impossible in public figures case since their visit is published in press.

    ՀՀԿ-ն, ՕԵԿ-ն ու «Ժառանգությունը» ընդունվեցին «Եվրոպական ժողովրդական կուսակցություն», ԲՀԿ-ն՝ ոչ



    Մոտ մեկ ժամ առաջ պարզ դարձավ, որ Հայաստանյան երեք կուսակցություններ՝ «Հայաստանի հանրապետական կուսակցությունը», «Ժառանգությունը» և «Օրինաց երկիրը» դարձել են «Եվրոպական ժողովրդական կուսակցության» (ԵԺԿ) դիտորդ-անդամ։

    ԵԺԿ-ին անդամակցության համար դիմած մյուս հայաստանյան կուսակցության՝ «Բարգավաճ Հայաստանի» դիմումը չի ընդունվել։

    Հայաստանյան երեք կուսակցությունների ներկայացուցիչները ստորագրել են համատեղ հռչակագիր, որում հաստատել են իրենց պատրաստակամությունը հավատարիմ մնալու եվրոպական ժողովրդավարական արժեքներին` Հայաստանի քաղաքական, տնտեսական և իրավական համակարգերի բարեփոխման և զարգացման ընթացքում:

    Հիշեցնենք, որ դեկտեմբերի 7-ին Մարսելում տեղի է ունեցել Եվրոպական ժողովրդական կուսակցության կոնգրեսի առաջին լիագումար նիստը` կազմակերպության ղեկավար Ուիլֆրիդ Մարթենսի գլխավորությամբ, որին մասնակցել է նաև ՀՀԿ նախագահ Սերժ Սարգսյանը` որպես կոնգրեսի հատուկ հյուր:

    Ելույթ ունենալով կոնգրեսի ամբիոնից` Մարթենսը Ս. Սարգսյանին հրավիրել է մասնակցել այսօր` դեկտեմբերի 8-ին կայանալիք Եվրոպական երկրների ու կառավարությունների ղեկավարների գագաթաժողովին:

    «Այսօրվանից Դուք Ձեզ կարող եք համարել Եվրոպական ժողովրդական կուսակցության մեծ ընտանիքի անդամ»,- հայտարարել է Վ. Մարթենսը` դիմելով Ս. Սարգսյանին և հանդիսավոր կերպով նրան փոխանցել գագաթաժողովին մասնակցելու հրավերը և ԵԺԿ անդամի կրծքանշանը:
    ԵԺԿ-ն համաեվրոպական խոշորագույն կուսակցությունն է, որի մաս են կազմում եվրոպական 39 երկրների 72 կուսակցություններ։
