ArmInfo. "We stand for as many people as possible to visit Nagorno Karabakh", NKR press secretary head David Babayan said talking to ArmInfo's reporter, commenting the visit of Russian writer and politician Eduard Limonov in Artsakh.
"This is a private visit. Everyone can visit our country, we are a democratic state and are ready to welcome guests. I think there is nothing bad about it", Babayan said.
Answering the question whether Limonov's visit can become an example for other politicians and stimulate tourists flow to Nagorno Karabakh, Artsakh press secretary said that the time will show. "We do not put political issues in front of us. This is Baku ownership, it is Baku that is worried all the time, nervous, make protests. And we only stand for people to come to our country, personally get acquainted with the atmosphere that is here", Babayan said.
To note,Russian writer and politician Eduard Limonov, these days is on a visit to Nagorno-Karabakh. Talking about the purpose of the visit, Limonov said that the story is very simple - it is an expression of his anti-Turkish attitude. "I consider Russia's policy towards Turkey wrong. I wrote a lot of relevant articles about which no one asked me. Various people drew attention to them, they contacted me and invited me to Armenia. I never trusted the Turks. The whole history of Russia makes us to doubt them, and I have no other position. This is my first visit to Karabakh, but I've previously visited various self-proclaimed republics, including the Republic of Serbian Krajina (destroyed by Croatia with the help of NATO in 1995). "
Speaking about how he can contribute to the Karabakh issue, since he is a well-known and authoritative person, Eduard Limonov said that they know little about Karabakh in Russia and have a distorted opinion about the issue.
