On September 3 the NA Deputy Speakers of the National Assembly Eduard
Sharmazanov, Hermine Naghdalyan and the member of the RPA faction
Karen Avagyan met with Canan Atilgan, Regional Head of Konrad Adenauer
Stiftung/Foundation and Liana Marukyan, Head of the Yerevan Office
Project of the Foundation.
The NA deputies highly appreciated the big work and mission done by
the Foundation in spreading and strengthening of European democratic,
Christian values.
At the same time they expressed regret that this meeting coincided
with the event of extradition of Ramil Safarov, who severely killed
with an axe an Armenian officer Gurgen Margaryan, to Azerbaijan by the
EU and NATO member Hungary, and then the murderer was acquitted and
glorified as a hero, which contradicts the international and European
legal and moral norms. Hungary's act became a reason of indignation of
the Armenian people and European community, and Azerbaijan's illegal
step once again confirmed its fascist aspirations. The NA deputies has
recorded that as members of conservative parties, they expect a just
assessment of the international progressive organizations on the fact.
Canan Atilgan, Regional Head of Konrad Adenauer Foundation, considered
the fact concerning for them too, as it also impeded their mission.
She ensured those present that today-tomorrow the EU high-ranking
officials would make a statement on the fact, as the European Union
was ready for the policy pursued by its member country. Mrs Atilgan
assessed Azerbaijan's behaviour very problematic and ensured that
she understood and shared the Armenian people's concern.
During the meeting it was discussed the issue of the participation
of the Republican Party of Armenia forum to be held in Georgia on the
initiative of the European People's Party (EPP). The deputies of the
RPA faction noted that they always would take part in the regional and
international projects, but the indignant events changed the regional
situation and resulted in the lack of distrust and security. Regarding
the proposal of participating in that forum in future the party would
soon discuss the issue and give an official answer.
Mrs Atilgan also said that the Foundation wanted to fulfill a project
of translating into Armenian the book written by the deputy of German
Bundestag BÅ'rnsen Wolfgang and publishing it with the RA National
Assembly.
The NA Deputy Speakers of the National Assembly Eduard Sharmazanov and
Hermine Naghdalyan expressed readiness in the name of the National
Assembly and their party to take part in all local projects of the
Foundation, and referring to the regional events, they would abstain,
unless the EU and the international influential structures have
given fair assessment on the illegal fact threatening the Armenian
people's security.
