/PanARMENIAN.Net/ President of the Belgian Senate Anne-Marie Lizin has
suggested that the Speaker of the Armenian Parliament meet with his Turkish
counterpart in Brussels for joint discussion of urgent problems, reported
the Press Service of the National Assembly of Armenia. In his turn Artur
Baghdasarian accepted the proposal. In the course of the meeting the parties
discussed regional development issues. At the instance of the Senate
President, A. Baghdasarian presented Armenia's stand over Turkey's accession
to the EU, as well as questions of the Armenian-Turkish relations. In his
words, Armenia comes for establishment of peace and stability in the region,
wishes normal relations with neighbor countries. Armenia is not against
Turkey's accession to the EU, however it considers that application of
double standards inadmissible. When commenting on the Turkish governmental
initiative on forming a joint historical commission for studying facts of
the Armenian Genocide of 1915, A. Baghdasarian noted that discussion of the
question whether there was a genocide or not is inadmissible. In his words,
a commission can be formed only to discuss the Armenian-Turkish relations.
In the course of the meeting the parties discussed the future fate of the
Armenian Nuclear Power Plant. A. Baghdasarian noted that according to
evaluations of international experts, the Plant can work continuously until
2016. Anne-Marie Lizin said she was ready to promote Armenian-Belgian ties.
Thereupon the parties agreed to hold a bilateral seminar under the auspices
of the two parliaments.
