Armenia
On July 28 the RA NA Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan met with the delegation
headed by BronisÅ~Baw Komorowski, President of the Republic of
Poland, who was in Armenia on an official visit. The Chairmen of
the Parliamentary Standing Committees and the Heads of factions were
present at the meeting.
Welcoming the guests, the NA Speaker noted that the friendly
relations and the cooperation between the Armenians and the Poles
had a history of centuries, which created good foundations for the
comprehensive development of nowadays interstate relations. Hovik
Abrahamyan documented with satisfaction that Armenian-Polish interstate
relations were of regular nature, especially during recent one and a
half years and highly appreciated the dynamics of political dialogue
between the two countries. The Head of the Parliament considered
necessary the development of interparliamentary ties mentioning that
Armenia-Poland parliamentary friendship group was functioning in the
National Assembly. In his word the cooperation in this sphere is not
limited to only bilateral format, but is extended over the cooperation
frameworks between the EU with Armenia, the interaction between the
delegations of the two countries in the international parliamentary
structures, the newly established EURONEST parliamentary dimension
including. The Speaker of the National Assembly noted that the Eastern
Partnership opened a new perspective for Armenia and our country in
the head of its president is consistent in its commitment to deepen
the political dialogue and the gradual economic integration with the
EU. In his word, the negotiations over the Association agreements
are running successfully, endeavors are in place in the direction
of creating free and comprehensive trade zone. This all is aimed not
only at strengthening the cooperation between Armenia and the EU, but
also promoting the effective continuation of reforms in our country.
In this context the NA Speaker highlighted the summit of the Heads
of the Eastern Partnership member states to be held in Poland on
September 30, during which a joint declaration was anticipated
to be adopted. Hovik Abrahamyan has stated that it is important
for Armenia that this document is counterbalanced; in particular,
it refers to the formulations of conflict settlements. According
to his convictions the upcoming summit will become an impetus for
the fulfillment of the goals set by the Eastern Partnership and is
also a good opportunity to reconfirm on high level the political
commitment of the participant states to the Eastern Partnership and
democratic reforms. Hovik Abrahamyan has expressed his concern on the
occasion of Azerbaijani non-constructive behaviour, as that country
refuses to participate in the comprehensive programs of the Eastern
Partnership, where Armenia is engaged. Thus, the key ideas of the EP:
regional cooperation is being compromised. The NA Speaker has expressed
conviction that during the presidency of Poland there will be progress
documented in the relations between the Eastern Neighbours. Hovik
Abrahamyan emphasized that Armenian authorities with the head of the
President will proceed the democratic reforms in the country.
The president of Poland has noted that is very glad to be in the
RA National Assembly also for the reason that he has been a deputy
for 20 years and before being elected president he has occupied
the office of Speaker of the Parliament. In his word, parliaments
are the heart of democracy, where political debates take place and
important decisions for the country are adopted. Stating that the
friendly relations between the Armenian and the Polish peoples have
a history of centuries, BronisÅ~Baw Komorowski highly appreciated
the cooperation level between the two countries, highlighting in
this context interparliamentary cooperation. The Polish President
emphasized that as EU presiding country Poland is willing to support
Armenia and share its experience of the European integration process,
stating that his country is interested in Armenia 's success in this
direction. "We are in the same boat," said BronisÅ~Baw Komorowski.
Other issues have also been considered at the meeting.
