Armenian MP: Italy’s Milan recognizes independence of Artsakh
The City Council of Milan, Italy, has recognized the independence of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), according to Armenian lawmaker Gayane Abrahamyan from the My Step faction.
“An urgent motion to recognize Artsakh was unanimously passed by the City Council last night,” the MP wrote on Facebook on Friday.
According to the motion, the City Council instructed the Milan mayor and the city’s executive authorities to ask Italy’s national authorities to recognize the Republic of Artsakh as an act of civilization, which “can lead not only to the restoration of justice, but also to an end to the silence, which has long been an accomplice to crime.”
“The motion also condemns the Turkish-Azerbaijani military aggression,” the lawmaker said, expressing gratitude to all the City Council members, especially Matteo Forte, for initiating the whole process.
