/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Today chairman of the RA National Assembly
standing committee on foreign relations Armen Rustamian met with
the delegation of the committee on foreign relations, defense and
security at the Czech Senate. In Rustamian's words, the Armenian and
Czech parliaments should strengthen ties and exchange experience in
the political, economic and cultural fields. For his part, delegation
head Rostislav Slavotenik noted the importance of cooperation in legal
field as well. Committee member Jaromir Stetina remarked that 2 months
ago a conference dedicated to the Armenian Genocide was held in the
Czech Senate and voiced hope that this fall the Senate will adopt a
resolution on the Genocide recognition.
As for Turkey's bid for the EU, the RA NA committee chairman said
the European Union is not only a geopolitical space but first of
all a system of values. In order to join the European family the
country should share the European values including the recognition
of the Armenian Genocide. "Until Turkey recognized the Armenian
Genocide there will be no guarantee the crime will not be repeated,"
Rustamian remarked. The Czech parliamentarians agreed with him noting
that the EU-Turkey talks may last 10-15 years and during this period
Turkey's home and foreign policy should meet the European standards,
reported the RA NA press service.
