    FIRST MEETINGS IN BELGIUM

    Formal visit of Armenian National Assembly Speaker Arthur Baghdasaryan to
    the Benelux states is going on.

    In Brussels the Armenian delegation met with the representatives of the
    diplomatic missions and various international organizations including the
    Eurasia Foundation, Institute of Open Society, European Office on Human
    Rights, European Commission, European Center of Civic Studies as well as
    with the representatives of Turkey, Ukranine, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria and other
    EU states.

    During the meeting the parties discussed the issues referring to the
    democratic reforms in Armenia, relations with the neighbors as well as the
    regional cooperation and the Karabakh conflict settlement process.

    Arthur Baghdasaryan stated that the democratic processes in Armenia are
    irrevocable and cover all the fields of public life. In part, the meeting
    participants touched upon the constitutional reforms, Election Code and the
    law `On Rallies, Meetings, Marches and Demonstrations'

    One parliament for Caucasus

    Arthur Baghdasaryan noted that Armenia is for the establishment of normal
    relations with all the neighbors and the formation of parliamentary congress
    on the basis of the functioning parliamentary initiative could become a
    considerable contribution to the development of political, economic,
    scientific and cultural ties.

    Compromise in certain frames

    As for the Karabakh conflict settlement it was noted that Armenia adheres to
    the peaceful resolution of the problem. Justice Bloc member Aram Sargsyan
    noted that the people of Karabakh started struggle for independence and took
    all the measures in accord with the international law.

    Representative of the Turkish Embassy in his turn states that Armenia does
    not acknowledge Turkey's borders and besides the Constitution mentions of
    Eastern Armenia. The RA NA Chairman assures that no mention of the kind
    exists in the Constitution and one can make certain of that by visiting the
    appropriate website. `We consider that the relations with Turkey should be
    normalized without any preconditions. We should live in peace, face the
    future and think about the coming generations', Arthur Baghdasaryan said
    adding that Armenia does not protest against Turkey's accession to the EU
    but speaks against double standards.
