Vice-Speaker of the Armenian National Assembly (NA) Eduard Sharmazanov
received on Tuesday members of the House of Commons, Parliament of
Canada, Mr Jim Karygiannis and Mr Alexandre Boulerice.
Vice-Speaker Shamazanov noted that, despite the distance, Armenia
and Canada maintain friendly relations.
In the person of Canadian MPs, Sharmazanov expressed gratitude to
Canada for recognizing the Armenian Genocide and for its pro-Armenian
activities.
Eduard Sharmazanov stressed the importance of Canadian MPs' visit
to Nagorno-Karabakh to monitor the forthcoming presidential election
in the country. This is evidence of Canada's interest in democratic
development in Nagorno-Karabakh.
The Canadian MPs noted that, despite many objections to their visit,
particularly objections by Azerbaijan, their wish is to witness
Nagorno-Karabakh's democratic development.
Canada is greatly interested in developing democracies, they said. The
Canadian MPs pointed out the Armenian community's activities.
They also pointed out the necessity for opening Canada's embassy
in Armenia. The Armenian NA vice-speaker said that Armenia is only
interested in developing the bilateral relations.
The sides voiced the opinion that the Armenian and Canadian MPs need
to intensify mutual visits.
Armenia was the first South Caucasus state to open its embassy in
Ottawa, which was evidence of the importance Armenia attaches to its
relations with Canada.
The Canadian MPs expressed hope that the presidential election will
be held at a high level in Nagorno-Karabakh.
The Armenian NA vice-speaker hailed the idea of a Nagorno-Karabakh's
Friends group proposed by the Canadian MPs.
Eduard Sharmazanov expressed the confidence that Armenians throughout
the world will hail the idea as an outstanding example of supporting
nascent democracies.
The sides also discussed other issues of mutual interest.
