Mexico is interested in development of cooperation with Armenia and
the visit of Foreign Minister of Armenia Edward Nalbandian to Mexico
will boost that cooperation, Foreign Secretary of Mexico Patricia
Espinosa said during her meeting with Edward Nalbandian, Monday.
The Armenian Foreign Ministry press-service told ArmInfo the two
parties came out for development of the two countries and expanding
the bilateral contractual field. The ministers are sure that opening of
the Armenian Embassy in Mexico will greatly contribute to promotion of
the bilateral relations. They came out also for more active cooperation
at international structures.
At the same time, Minister Nalbandian expressed discontent at the
Mexican parliament's resolution on Nagorno Karabakh that distorts
reality and contradicts the international stance on the Karabakh
conflict, which was repeatedly mentioned by the OSCE Minsk Group.
"That resolution impedes the negotiations for peaceful resolution
of the Karabakg conflict, affects regional stability and the
Armenian-Mexican relations," Nalbandian said.
He shared the position of Mexican Ombudsman who declared that opening
a memorial for the victims of the so-called "Khojalu massacre" in
Mexico is an insult to the memory of the victims of the Armenian
Genocide in Ottoman Turkey. Nalbandian said that he shares also the
negative response by the world community to the Monument for Heydar
Aliyev on a central alley in the Mexican capital alongside with the
monuments for such humanists as Lincoln and Gandhi.
Patricia Espinosa, in turn, said that all this has already received
negative response by the Mexican public. Minister Nalbandian informed
Patricia Espinosa of the current stage of the Karabakh peace talks
and said that despite continuous efforts of the Armenian party and
the OSCE Minsk Group, Azerbaijan tries to lead the negotiations to
a deadlock. Secretary Espinosa, in turn, expressed Mexico's full
support to OSCE MG's efforts in the peace process.
In order to expand the dialogue and consultations at various levels
and to increase cooperation on assorted issues, the officials signed
a Memorandum of Understanding to Establish Political Consultations
on Matters of Mutual Interest.
The same day, Edward Nalbandian had a meeting with senators and
expressed discontent at the resolution on Nagorno Karabakh that
distorts reality. Senator, for their part, assured the minister
that they favor the peaceful resolution of the conflict on the basis
of negotiations.
Edward Nalbandian is on a visit to Latin America countries on 22-26
October.
