The Speaker of Armenia's National Assembly Hovik Abrahamian is on
an official visit to Brussels. The NA press service reports that on
January 9 Hovik Abrahamian met with the EU Commissioner for Enlargement
and Neighborhood Policy Stefan Fule.
The sides discussed the prospects of development of Armenia-EU
relations, appreciated the high dynamics of the political dialog,
expressing a willingness to keep and continue it.
On the same the Armenian parliament speaker met with the President
of the Belgian Senate Ms. Sabine de Bethune and the President of the
Belgian Chamber of Representatives Andre Flahaut.
Speaking about the reforms in Armenia, H. Abrahamian stated that
regardless the existing regional problems and challenges, Armenia has
inflexibly chosen the democratic path of state building. He said the
European integration policy is a pivot of not only domestic reforms,
but also of the foreign policy agenda of Armenia.
Hovik Abrahamian discussed the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement
process, noting that the position of the Armenian side is based on
three internationally-recognized principles: nonuse of force and
threats of force, self-determination of nations, and territorial
integrity. Azerbaijan continuously hinders the process, developing
its policy based only on the principle of territorial integrity. In
his words, in case of this approach, it is impossible to speak about
any compromises.
The parliament speaker said that while distorting the essence and
reasons of the conflict, Azerbaijan is also taking steps to involve
other international organizations in the conflict settlement, trying
to hinder the negotiating process, which is inadmissible.
Vice-President of the Belgian Senate Armand de Decker objectively
assessed the steps of Armenia and the international community aimed
at settling the Karabakh conflict and normalizing Armenian-Turkish
relations. He expressed confidence that these problems must be solved
in line with international standards and principles.
