    Deputy speaker of the Armenian parliament Eduard Sharmazanov received
    delegation from Russian State Duma on Tuesday. The Russian MPs
    are leaving today for Nagorno Karabakh on observation mission. The
    presidential elections in Nagorno Karabakh are scheduled for July 19.

    According to the press release of the National Assembly, the deputy
    parliament speaker welcomed the visit of the Russian MPs to Armenia and
    their participation in the observation mission in Nagorno Karabakh. He
    voiced conviction that the visit to Karabakh will enable the members
    of the delegation get acquainted how people of Artsakh are erecting
    their independent state basing on democratic values.

    Speaking about bilateral relations, Eduard Sharmazanov said
    Armenian-Russian relations are dynamically developing today in all
    directions - economic, political, humanitarian, cultural. The deputy
    speaker voiced the necessity of expanding inter-parliamentary ties
    to ensure further development of relations.

    Russian MP from Liberal-Democratic party Alexander Balberov said their
    visit is first of all agreed with their conviction in the necessity
    of peaceful settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict.

    MP Ivan Sukharev described Armenian-Russian relations as warm and
    friendly, stressing the necessity of implementation of new programs
    to reinforce the existing ties.

    Artak Zakaryan, head of the NA Foreign Relations Standing Committee
    said the decision of the Russian MPs to observe the presidential
    elections in Karabakh is a brave step amid Azerbaijan's inadequate
    assessments to it.

    Zakaryan described such behavior as short-sighted and wrong which
    though results in more people getting interested in Karabakh's fate
    and wanting to get familiarized with the situation there on site.

    Denis Dvornikov, member of Russia's Public Chamber, who also
    represents Russia's International Right Association, noted that
    Karabakh issue should be settled through international right to
    self-determination. "There cannot be second opinion in this issue,"
    he said.
