Edward Nalbandian, MexicoOn October 24, Foreign Minister Edward
Nalbandian, who is in Mexico on an official visit, met with Francisco
Arroyo Vieyra, the Deputy Chairman of the Lower Chamber of Mexico~Rs
Senate.
Welcoming the Armenian Minister of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Vieyra
mentioned that Mexico~Rs Parliament would like to bring its
contribution to the development and strengthening of the
Armenian-Mexican relations.
Edward Nalbandian stressed that the resolutions adopted during the
previous year~Rs sitting of the Chamber of the Mexican Parliament
which distort the facts about Nagorno-Karabakh not only harmed
bilateral relations, but also flagrantly contradict to the position
of the international community repeatedly voiced by the heads of the
OSCE Minsk Group co-chairing countries. In the words of the Armenian
Minister of Foreign Affairs, such activities are harming the steps
undertaken by the international community towards the settlement of
the issue and are threatening regional stability.
The high-ranking official of the Mexican Parliament said he~Rs aware
of the negative consequences of the above-mentioned statements and
provided explanations, underlining that the Chamber of the Mexican
Parliament unequivocally supports the right to self-determination
of peoples and any attempts to refer some positions to the Mexican
Parliament do not correspond to reality.
Edward Nalbandian expressed satisfaction with the unequivocal support
provided by the Mexican Parliament to the right to self-determination
of peoples, as well as with the assurances presented by the Mexican
Secretariat of Foreign Affairs that Mexico officially supports
the proposals made by the Minsk Group on the settlement of the
Nagorno-Karabakh issue, and the efforts undertaken in that direction.
Minister Nalbandian expressed hope that the newly elected Mexican
Parliament would undertake effective steps to develop relations with
Armenia. Edward Nalbandian informed about the creation of a friendship
group with the Chamber of the Mexican Parliament in the Armenian
Parliament, and conveyed greetings of the Speaker of the Armenian
National Assembly Hovik Abrahamyan to the heads of the Senate and
Chamber of Parliament.
Francisco Arroyo Vieyra said that the Chamber of Parliament would
undertake the steps towards the creation of a friendship group with the
Armenian National Assembly which would definitely become an important
format of interaction.
In Mexico City Foreign Minister had a meeting with the representatives
of the Armenian community in Mexico, as well. Edward Nalbandian
presented them the main vectors of Armenian~Rs foreign policy, reforms
implemented in the country, and the results of the meetings held in
Mexico as well as answered their numerous questions.
The visit of the Armenian Minister of Foreign Affairs to Mexico was
largely covered by the local media. The Mexican media presented many
publications referring to the situation created after the unveiling
of a so-called Khojaly monument in Mexico City, describing it as an
insult to the dignity of the Mexican people.
The Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs informed the Armenian Minister
that under the pressure of the Mexican public opinion, Mexico City~Rs
municipality made a decision to establish a special commission to
determine the fate of the Azeri monuments.
Wrapping up the visit to Mexico, Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian
left for Guatemala.
