On December 15 the Speaker of RA National Assembly Hovik Abrahamyan
received the Argentinean diplomat, Doctor Leandro Despui. The latter
takes part at The Crime of Genocide: Prevention, Condemnation and
Elimination of Consequences International Conference in Yerevan. The
Conference is dedicated to the adoption of the UN Convention on
Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide. The NA Chief
of Staff Gegham Gharibjanyan and the head of NA ARF faction Vahan
Hovhannisyan attended the meeting.
The NA Speaker highly assessed the relations between Armenia and
Argentina and the Armenian-Argentinean friendship, and its vivid
example is Mr Despui's activity and the fact of being awarded Mkhitar
Gosh medal for his considerable contribution to the international
recognition of the Armenian Genocide by RA President Serzh Sargsyan.
Hovik Abrahamyan emphasized the Argentinean guest's contribution in
the sphere of the human rights protection and his contribution in the
recognition of the Armenian Genocide by the Argentinean Parliament
on November 29, 2006: Argentina was the second country in the South
American continent after Uruguay, which qualified the events of the
beginning of the 20th century Genocide. The Speaker of the Parliament
said that the visits of such figures would promote the activation of
the relations between the two countries. The NA Speaker noted that his
official visit to Argentina is scheduled in spring of the next year.
Doctor Leandro Despui thanked for warm reception. In his words the
recognition of the Armenian Genocide more approached the Armenian and
Argentinean peoples, the Armenian community is respected in Argentina,
and the visit of the head of the Armenian Parliament to that South
American country would be a serious impetus for the development of
bilateral relations.
The NA Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan considered important the cooperation
between the parliaments and the mutual visits of the delegations,
which would make possible to make closer the relations between the
two countries. He also expressed his gratitude for warm reception
being shown towards our compatriots by the Argentinean authorities.
To Leonard Despui's conviction, the Armenian Genocide is an undeniable
fact, and its recognition is the problem not only of the Armenian
people, but also of the whole world.
Hovik Abrahamyan noted that the condemnation of the Armenian Genocide
is an opportunity to prevent the commitment of such crime towards
other people.
The interlocutors also touched the NK conflict, especially the right
of the nations' self-determination, noting that the issue should be
solved on the basis of that principle, as well as non-use of force,
territorial integrity.
