On May 17 the meeting in the enlarged format of the parliamentary
delegations of two countries with the participation of the Speaker
of the National Assembly of Armenia Hovik Abrahamyan and the Speaker
of the Parliament of the Republic of Hungary Laszlo Kover was held.
Welcoming his Hungarian colleague and the delegation led by him, Hovik
Abrahamyan expressed hope that the visit would promote the development
of the relations between two countries. "Our wish is to establish
various mutually beneficial relations with Hungary, Hovik Abrahamyan
said. The NA Speaker noted that Hungary had no Embassy in Armenia,
and its opening would boost the rapprochement of bilateral relations.
RA NA Speaker expressed satisfaction in connection with the policy
being implemented by the Hungarian authorities towards the Armenian
community. In his words, in Armenia they assess the circumstance that
the Armenians in Hungary have a status of national minority and take
advantage of that situation.
Hovik Abrahamyan highlighted the cooperation in international
structures. In his words, the political cooperation between Armenia
and the European Union intensively develops. The Eastern Partnership
Programme gives good opportunities of cooperation between Armenia
and Hungary. Touching upon the EU-Armenia Association Agreement,
RA NA Speaker noted that they fully share the view on showing
differentiation approach within the Eastern Partnership framework. The
European Commission should show individual approach not only between
the Eastern Europe and South Caucasus, but also between the countries
of the South Caucasus.
Noting that during the last one year the visits of the delegations at
different levels to Armenia took place, RA NA Speaker said that they
gave opportunity the deputies of the European parliament to personally
get familiarized with the situation in Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh.
In Hovik Abrahamyan's word, the Armenian authorities are for the
solution the existing conflicts in the region as a result of peaceful
negotiations.
The Speaker of the Parliament of the Republic of Hungary Laszlo
Kover noted that the mutual visits would activate the relations of
two countries, which had non-used resources, he especially meant the
economic cooperation.
Laszlo Kover underlined that Hungary highly assessed the activity of
the Hungarian-Armenian community, which though being of small number,
but had permanently decisive role in the history of Hungary.
The Speaker of the Hungarian Parliament noted that Hungary could
support Armenia being on the path of the European integration,
conveying its experience in that direction.
Highlighting the development of the inter-parliamentary cooperation,
RA NA Speaker noted that the inter-Parliamentary Friendship groups
functioning in the two parliaments would promote it. Hovik Abrahamyan
expressed suspicion on the resolution draft law of anti-Armenian
nature presented on the initiative of some deputies in the Hungarian
Parliament. Expressing hope that the mentioned resolution will not
be adopted, the NA Speaker considered necessary that the deputies of
the Hungarian Parliament would be aware of the essence of the Nagorno
Karabakh conflict being completely misunderstood in it.
The Speaker of the Hungarian Parliament noted that it was most likely
that this resolution would not even be included in the agenda, moreover
that the ruling majority had no such goal. In Laszlo Kover's words,
Hungary is for balanced approach.
At the meeting the sides also touched upon issues of bilateral
interest.
