The constituent meeting of the EURONEST Parliamentary Assembly kicked
off in Brussels with the participation of the heads and national
delegations of the Eastern Partnership countries.
`During the whole period of its activity the European Parliament has
proved its commitment to the universal values encouraging nations to
unite around the idea of freedom, solidarity, justice and stability,
against the temptation of creating obstacles and dividing lines. The
Republic of Armenia has constantly proved its commitment to these
universal values and has been an advocate of cooperation, supporting
the development of normal relations with its neighbors and deepening
the regional cooperation,' Speaker of the Armenian National Assembly
Hovik Abrahamyan said in his speech.
`The EURONEST Parliamentary Assembly should become the venue that will
help give a parliamentary assessment to the Eastern Partnership,
express our commitment to the principles of international law and
fundamental values, and achieve mutual understanding and full-fledged
regional cooperation. In this context with its diversity Europe serves
as a model for achieving solidarity,' the Speaker said.
`Armenia also attaches great importance to the intercultural dialogue
in the region through the establishment of an atmosphere of trust and
cooperation between different religious and ethnic communities. This,
in turn, will promote democratic development, prosperity and create
necessary prerequisites for peace, stability and security,' Mr.
Abrahamyan stated.
According to him, `the involvement of the three South Caucasus
countries in the EURONEST might be extremely useful in making our
region more predictable.' `EURONEST could also provide a new impetus
to the current relations between us, given the importance of
parliamentary diplomacy, and become an additional incentive for the
enhancement of ties between our parliaments and the societies at
large.'
The heads of Parliament signed the constituent act of the EURONEST
Parliamentary Assembly and adopted the statute. The head of the
Armenian delegation to the EURONEST Parliamentary assembly, Vahan
Hovhannisyan, was elected Vice President of EURONEST PA.
