YEREVAN, JULY 13, ARMENPRESS: The seven-member delegation of the
Australia's New South Wales Parliament is currently in Armenia.
The visit has been initiated by the Armenian National Committee of
Australia. `The key aim of the visit is to provide the parliament
members, having quite a considerable contribution to the Armenian issue,
with the opportunity to see Armenia, get acquainted with the
centuries-old Armenian culture and history and upon their return to
continue their pro-Armenian activities in Australia', - stated the
ANC Australia Executive Director Vache Kahramanian to Armenpress.
The delegation of the Australian parliamentarians, who arrived in
Armenia on July 12, will stay in Armenia for seven days and will hold
high-level meetings with the President of the Republic of Armenia
Serzh Sargsyan, the President of the National Assembly Hovik
Abrahamyan, the Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan, as well as His
Holiness Karekin II, the Supreme Patriarch and Catholicos of All
Armenians. Issues related to the further strengthening of the
Armenian-Australian cooperation will be discussed. The ANC Australia
Executive Director Vache Kahramanian expressed his hope that the
meetings will give a new impetus to the Armenian-Australian political,
economic and cultural relations.
In May 2013 during the interview given to the SBS Radio Station
broadcast in Australia, the Member of the New South Wales Legislative
Council, Rev. Fred Nile touched upon the forthcoming visit to Armenia
and stated that `he is very excited and hopes for warm reception'.
The largest state of Australia - New South Wales - on April 17 1997
adopted a motion condemning the massacres taking place in the Ottoman
Empire, characterizing them as the first Genocide of the 20th
century. On May 1 and June 8 2013 the Parliament adopted the motions
on recognizing the genocides of the Assyrians and Greeks and the
motion on re-establishing of the recognition of the Armenian Genocide.
On October 25th, 2012 the Legislative Council of New South Wales
adopted a unanimous motion recognizing the Republic of Nagorno
Karabakh and calling on the right to self-determination of its
people. This historic motion was the first in Australia and the third
internationally.
