Armenia's Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian launched his tour to
Latin America with the visit to Mexico on October 22, Ministry's
press service reports.
In Mexico Nalbandian met with his counterpart Patricia Espinosa.
Welcoming the Armenian minister, Mrs Espinosa said Mexico views
Armenia as a friend country and wants to expand cooperation. She
said the minister's visit is a good opportunity to discuss and reach
arrangements.
Minister Nalbandian voiced conviction that his visit will be a good
impetus for boosting relations.
The ministers of the two countries reaffirmed their readiness to
raise bilateral relations on a new qualitative level.
The interlocutors agreed that the opening of Armenian embassy in Mexico
will greatly promote the reinforcement and deepening of relations.
During the meeting the Armenian Foreign Minister voiced bewilderment
over adoption of distorting resolutions by Mexican parliament of
former convocation over Nagorno Karabakh.
The Armenian minister stressed that these resolutions roughly
contradict the position of the international community voiced many
times by the leaders of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairing countries
and harm the talks and regional security as well as negatively affect
Armenian-Mexican relations.
The minister also stressed that he shares the viewpoint of Mexican
human right defenders that the unveiling of the so-called "Khojalu
monument" in Mexico is an offence to the memory of genocide victims and
agreed with the responses throughout the world over placing statue of
former president of Azerbaijan in Mexico's capital. Mexico's Minister
offered explanations over the placing of the former president's statue,
saying the Mexican public has negatively responded to it either.
Minister Nalbandian briefed on the current process of settlement of
Nagorno Karabakh conflict, stressing that despite the efforts of
Armenia and international community the Azerbaijani leadership is
doing everything to make the process fail.
In this pre-context the Mexican minister reiterated the full readiness
of the Mexican government to the OSCE Minsk Group efforts toward
peaceful settlement of the conflict.
On the same day the Armenian minister met with the members of the
Mexican Senate. He said this year the two countries are marking
20th anniversary of establishment of diplomatic relations but not
everything that was done was aimed at developing the relations,
but just the opposite, there were steps that harmed them. "What I
mean is the adoption of resolutions about Nagorno Karabakh by the
Mexican former convocation parliament which contradict the stance of
the international community and encourages the unconstructive stance
of Azerbaijan and its aggressive steps," Minister Nalbandian said.
Voicing the official viewpoint of the Senate, the senators stressed
that negotiations are the only way of the settlement of the conflict
and called on the parties to undertake steps for the establishment
of peace.
