Armenia is "pleased with the dynamics of the development of strategic
and allied cooperation with Russia in all spheres," speaker of the
republic's Parliament Hovik Abrahamyan said, welcoming the delegation
of the Russian State Duma lower house of parliament, headed by the
house chairman Sergei Naryshkin.
"The parliamentary dimension is an important element of the
Armenian-Russian relations," the speaker stated, expressing readiness
of the Armenian side "for the most active and constructive work with
our Russian colleagues." "Our lawmakers have all the conditions,
and most importantly, the desire and disposition for that, the more
so that parliamentary elections have already been held in Russia and
Armenia," said Abrahamyan.
"Our relationship at the interstate level has a special nature, and
this factor determines the quality of inter-parliamentary cooperation
between the National Assembly of Armenia and the Federal Assembly of
Russia," the head of the Armenian parliament pointed out.
Hovik Abrahamyan is certain that the results of Sergei Naryshkin's
visit to Yerevan "will directly affect the further deepening
of Armenian-Russian cooperation." "In recent years, the level of
parliamentary relations of our countries has increased significantly,
and bilateral inter-parliamentary contacts have become intense,"
said Abrahamyan. "Meetings at various levels and, above all, between
the chairmen of our legislative bodies, largely contribute to this."
The speaker recalled that a delegation of the Russian Federation
Council upper house of parliament, headed by speaker Valentina
Matviyenko has recently paid an official visit to Yerevan, and now
a major delegation of the State Duma has come here. "Such high-level
meetings provide ample opportunities for the discussion of the further
development of inter-parliamentary cooperation," Abrahamyan said.
The speaker particularly stressed "the importance of the
Inter-parliamentary Commission on Cooperation between the National
Assembly of Armenia and the Federal Assembly of Russia." According to
him, "thanks to the commission's long years of work, parliamentary
relations between Russia and Armenia have acquired a more systemic
nature and created the legal framework serving the whole range" of
Armenian-Russian intergovernmental cooperation. Hovik Abrahamyan
is "confident that the new membership of the Inter-parliamentary
Commission will successfully continue its mission."
