PanARMENIAN.Net – Official Baku has repeatedly harmed the social, humanitarian and cultural contacts of Nagorno Karabakh, isolating it from the outside world, research fellow at the Black Sea-Caspian Region Institute for Political and Social Studies said.
“However, it gradually becomes more difficult for Baku to do that,” Andrey Areshev told PanARMENIAN.Net citing famed opera singer Montserrat Caballé’s visit to Nagorno Karabakh to prove his point.
“It seems that no notes of protest and aggressive media publications will prevent Karabakh from expanding its relations with the cultural elite of modern Europe,” the expert said.
“Causes of conflicts sometimes get unique interpretations. No doubt, Montserrat Caballé’s visit to Artsakh will foster further popularization of Karabakh and Armenian culture in Europe. Interest in Artsakh may stir up interest in Europe’s Christian identity,” Mr. Areshev said.
