Slovakia parliament member to observe NKR elections

Head of FAAE head and Slovakia’s Armenian Community Ashot Grigoryan and Slovakia parliament member Frantisek Miklosko will participate in NKR parliamentary elections in the capacity of observers.

On May 21, Grigoryan and Miklosko will visit Armenian Genocide memorial to commemorate massacre victims. In 2004, during discussions on Turkey’s EU bid, Miklosko advanced an offer on accepting Ankara as EU member only in case it agrees to recognize the Armenian Genocide.

“Frantisek Miklosko’s presence at Artsakh parliamentary elections is an important part of FAAE project promoting recognition of NKR independence in Slovakia and Europe. FAAE continues efforts towards international recognition of Armenian Genocide and Karabakh conflict settlement,” FAAE statement emphasized.
