MEETING IN NA STANDING COMMITTEE ON EUROPEAN INTEGRATION
National Assembly of RA
Nov 25 2010
Armenia
On November 24 The Chairperson of the NA Standing Committee on
European Integration Naira Zohrabyan received the first Secretary of
the Embassy of the Federal Republic of Germany Mrs Simone Schutze and
the scholarship holder of the International Parliamentary Scholarships
(IPS).
During the meeting Mrs Zohrabyan emphasized the relation between
the Armenian Parliament and Bundestag of Germany, noting that
Armenian-German inter-parliamentary relations were rather dynamic and
were actively developing. According to the Committee Chairperson, as
the European integration is one of the foreign priorities of Armenia,
the experience of Bundestag having democratic old traditions is
instructive for the National Assembly of Armenia. This programme gives
opportunity to the Armenian students and youth to use in practice their
experience, which they have in the Bundestag of Germany, in different
departments of Armenia. Mrs Zohrabyan said that she discussed the
issue of the former and this year's selected scholarship holders
to have educational practice in the National Assembly with the NA
Speaker, and in future the scholarship holders would have opportunity
to more thoroughly get acquainted with the activities and happenings
of the National Assembly of Armenia. She also expressed hope that the
scholarship holders passing their experience in Germany would also
actively cooperate with Lepsius German-Armenian Research Center in
Potsdam. By the way, emphasizing the issue of the scholarship holders
Mrs Zohrabyan noted that from the independence more than 1300 Armenian
citizens received scholarships from the German Academic Exchange
Service, which, according to Naira Zohrabyan, is appreciable. The
Committee Chairperson noted that all the proposals concerning the
programme would be submitted to the NA Speaker.
During the meeting other issues were also discussed.
