Armenia is interested in further enhancement of cooperation with
Germany, Speaker of the Armenian Parliament Hovik Abrahamyan said in
the course of his meeting with Bundestag President Norbert Lammert,
who is on an official visit to Yerevan.
Abrahamyan highlighted the European dimension and European integration
as Armenia's foreign policy priorities, the Armenian National Assembly
press-service told ArmInfo.
The speaker said that cooperation with FRG is an important link
on the way to European integration. He came out for promotion of
parliamentary contacts and effective cooperation within international
structures. President of Bundestag Lammert shared his views and
said that mutual visits of parliamentarians help expanding bilateral
cooperation and German deputies get first-hand view of the situation
in the region and, particularly, in Armenia.
The two parties discussed also the Karabakh peace process. In this
context, Hovik Abrahamyan said that the conflict must be settled within
the OSCE MG and through negotiations. He said that Azerbaijan creates
obstacles to the peaceful resolution of the conflict by refusing
to remove snipers from the line of contact. The speaker expressed
regret with the fact that the world community has not yet given any
adequate assessment of Baku's actions. Hovik Abrahamyan touched upon
normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations saying that Armenia
is committed to the protocols signed in Zurich, while Turkey refuses
to fulfill its commitments and makes preconditions to establishment
of diplomatic relations. Norbert Lammert said, in turn, that regional
stability and peace are of special importance and the complicacy of
the Karabakh conflict's resolution is obvious.
