ArmInfo. On September 29, Armenian parliament speaker Hovik Abrahamyan
met Swiss Foreign Minister Micheline Calmy-Rey within the frames of
his visit to Switzerland.
As the parliamentary press service reports, during the meeting the
speaker emphasized that Armenia gives high priority to development
of multi-vector relations with Switzerland, in particular, to
this country's intermediary mission during solution of different
international problems. According to him, the Armenian authorities
highly appreciate the assistance by Switzerland aimed at implementation
of social and economic reforms in Armenia.
The parties also discussed the Armenian-Turkish reconciliation
process. In this context, H. Abrahamyan said the preconditions,
set forth by Turkey, are unacceptable for Armenia, and, taking into
account inappropriate delays of ratification of the protocols in
the Turkish parliament, President Serzh Sargsyan recalled them from
the Armenian parliament agenda, having however preserved Armenia's
signatures under the documents.
In her turn, Swiss FM emphasized that this process cannot remain
unaccomplished: active consultations are currently going on with both
parties to create favourable conditions to continue the talks.
"Switzerland is quite decided about promotion of the process",
she added.
