Armenian National Assembly Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan met with President
of the Belgian Senate Sabine de Bethune and President of the Belgian
Chamber of Representatives Andre Flahaut in Brussels on Wednesday,
January 9, Armenian parliament's press service said.
Referring to the reform process in Armenia, Mr Abrahamyan said that
irrespective of the challenges of the region, Armenia has steadfastly
chosen the democratic path of state building. Armenia is steadfast
in continuing to implement deep and comprehensive reforms in line
with European standards. European integration policy is the key of
not only Armenia's domestic reforms but also its foreign policy.
Hovik Abrahamyan commented on Karabakh issue, noting that Armenian
side's position is based on three international principles: non-use
of force or threat of force, self-determination of peoples and
territorial integrity.
Azerbaijan constantly hinders this process, building its policy
exclusively on one principle - territorial integrity and thus makes
it impossible to talk about compromises, Armenia's NA Speaker said.
Azerbaijan also distorts the essence of the conflict as well as takes
moves to involve other international organizations in the conflict
settlement, trying to hinder the negotiation process and pursuing
propaganda purposes, Hovik Abrahamyan concluded.
