The parliamentarian, in particular, shared his impressions of the recent presidential elections in the NKR, in which he participated as an international observer. Mr. Karygiannis noted that the elections were held at a high level, and in this regard, Artsakh could be an example for many countries. He said he saw a fully-formed and well-functioning state system. NKR Permanent Representative to the U.S. and Canada Robert Avetisian made a speech at the meeting, after which he answered the attendants' questions related to the Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict settlement and the situation in the NKR. The issue of Ramil Safarov’s extradition and pardon was also in the focus. The NKR Permanent Representative expressed hope that the international community would take a more principled position not only on this fact, but also on Azerbaijan's destructive policy in general. The Azerbaijani party's actions were severely criticized also by Mr. Karygiannis, who pledged to continue his efforts to ensure that the political circles in Canada learn more about Artsakh and the real situation in the republic, reported the NKR MFA press service.
