NKR flag waved at Venice independence rally

Armenia should have started the Nagorno Karabakh Republic recognition campaign long ago, NKR former foreign minister said.

“Territories with a status similar to that of Artsakh are launching independence campaigns throughout the world. For instance, not long ago Venice pro-independence campaigners held a mass rally, with the NKR flag waved,” Arman Melikyan said, deeming the campaigns pan-European processes.

Dwelling on Oct. 27 meeting between Armenian and Azerbaijani foreign ministers, NKR ex-minister said, “I have no expectations, considering the issues on agenda. Azerbaijani axe-murderer Ramil Safarov case is likely to be discussed.”

Today, October 27, Paris will host a meeting between Armenian and Azeri foreign ministers.
