met on September 28 with the Belarusian ambassador to Armenia Stepan
Sukhorenko and his first deputy Valeri Gorelko, NA's press service
reported.
The parties discussed the issues of double standards applied by
European structures. Naira Zohrabyan considered it unacceptable that
the European community turns a blind eye on the shameful
anti-democratic processes in Azerbaijan and the growing number of
political prisoners there with it applying double standards toward
Eastern Partnership member states.
Referring to the parliamentary elections in Belarus, Naira Zohrabyan
expressed regret that despite the positive report of the CIS
Inter-Parliamentary mission, the OSCE again gave negative assessment
to the elections in Belarus.
Zohrabyan said it is very important for Belarus to be engaged in
Euranest parliamentary assembly. `The ties between the European
establishments, European community should not be interrupted. It is
very important for ensuring democratic developments in Belarus,'
committee's chairman said.
The interlocutors agreed to continue the works toward engagement of
Belarus in all-European processes. Rating high European integration,
