It is wrong to claim that representatives of the Armenian authorities haven’t been visiting Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh) since the end of the war. This is what leader of the My Step faction of the National Assembly of Armenia Lilit Makunts told reporters in parliament today when she was asked if the authorities of Armenia are prohibited from visiting Artsakh or if there is a problem with visits.
“The deputies of my faction visit Artsakh. For instance, Nazeli Baghdasaryan, one of our deputies, is actively dealing with the problems regarding Armenian prisoners of war, and she and other deputies pay visits to Artsakh on a regular basis,” she said.
As for the political elite, Makunts said she can only speak on behalf of the parliamentary faction and isn’t aware of the political authorities’ schedules for visits.
