YEREVAN. - Armenian National Assembly (NA) deputy speakers Eduard
Sharmazanov and Hermine Naghdalyan as well as ruling Republican Party
(RPA) MP Karen Avagyan on Monday met with Canan Atilgan, the Regional
Office Director of the Konrad Adenauer Foundation.
The MPs highly appreciated the Foundation's considerable efforts toward
expanding and consolidating the democratic and Christian values of
Europe, NA press service informs.
At the same time, however, they expressed a regret that this meeting
coincided with the period when Ramil Safarov was extradited from
Hungary to Azerbaijan, where he was granted pardon and made a hero
by the country's authorities.
NA MPs recorded that they expect a fair assessment by the leading
international organizations with respect to this development.
In her turn, Canan Atilgan considered this incident to be worrisome
for them as well, since it obstructs their mission, too. She assured
that senior EU officials will soon issue a statement over this event
because EU bears responsibility for the policy led by a member state.
Also, Ms. Atilgan assessed Azerbaijan's demeanor as extremely
problematic, and assured that she understands and shares the Armenian
people's concerns.
Separately, the interlocutors also discussed the chances for RPA's
participation in the conference that will be held in Georgia on
September 22, and at the initiative of the European People's Party's
(EPP).
