"Armenia that has chosen the path of European integration since
independence and professes the same values, is ready for reforms,"
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan assured the delegation members who
are in Armenia on these days to participate in the three-day session
of the Committee on Social Affairs, Education, Culture and Civil
Society of the Euronest Parliamentary Assembly.
During the meeting with the president, the delegation members inquired
about the coming parliamentary elections, with the development and
cooperation agenda of Armenia-European Union relations, also issues
related to Armenia's position in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict
resolution and the latest developments of the negotiation process.
In his speech directed to the participants in the session already
started at the parliament, NA Speaker Samvel Nikoyan said it is
necessary to put aside "our differences" in the outgoing session
and it is necessary to work together. There are two reports on the
topics of strengthening of civil society and fight against poverty
and social estrangement on the agenda of the session in Yerevan.
Azerbaijani MP belonging to no party Azay Gulie said his country fully
supports the development of regional cooperation, even the government
allocates 1mln USD annually to NGOs to work actively. Members of civil
society can actively cooperate in the region, which can promote to
the strengthening of peace.
"The conflict existing in our region can also be eased in the result
of the civil society's cooperation. And Euronest can serve a very
good instrument to solve the issues accumulated," Guliev has said.
Whereas, it is known that the approach of Azerbaijani leadership
is different: unless the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is settled, no
contact can be on the public plane.
The head of the Armenian delegation in Euronest Vahan Hovhannisyan will
express an opinion on what Guliev has said at tomorrow's session, but,
in general, he defined it as a peace statement. MP Artak Zakarian,
in his turn, stated that such opinions rarely sound in Azerbaijan,
rather the opposite takes place. The more MPs with such mentality,
the more the region will benefit.
"Euronest can become that platform. In conditions of a closed public,
it is understandable that no dialogue can take place," Zakaryan
has said.
The commission's report will also be approved at the session
in Yerevan. If there are no new proposals, it will be approved in
Yerevan, if there are proposals, then it will be approved in April
already in Baku.
