"Most probably, in the autumn the Czech Parliament will adopt a
resolution recognizing the Armenian Genocide," declared member of
the Czech Senate delegation Yaromir Shtetina, who is in Armenia on
a working visit.
He noted that at the initiative of the Armenian community of the Czech
Republic and under the auspice of the ex-President Vatslav Havel a
conference dedicated to the 1915 Armenian Genocide was organized in
the Senate two months ago.
During today's meeting with Armenian Parliamentarians the Czech
Senators showed interest in the issue of settlement of the Karabakh
issue. In response to their question whether the Minsk Group has not
exhausted itself and if there is necessity to change the format, Head
of the NA Standing Committee on Foreign Relations Armen Rustamyan
said there is no need for a new format, since the Minsk Group has
been engaged in the settlement of the issue ever since 1992, it
is well familiar with the question and has presented three valuable
suggestions during eight years. According to Armen Rustamyan, the lack
of progress is associated with the fact that different from Armenia,
Azerbaijan constantly refutes the suggestions presented and refuses
to sign any document.
