On March 6 the RA NA President Hovik Abrahamyan received the delegation
led by the President of the Bundestag Federal Republic of Germany (FRG)
Norbert Lammert, who arrived in Armenia on three-day official visit.
Welcoming the President of the Bundestag and thanking for accepting the
invitation and visiting Armenia, Hovik Abrahamyan expressed conviction
that the visit would greatly promote not only the rapprochement
of inter-parliamentary relations, but also the friendship of the
two countries and peoples, the further development and deepening of
the Armenian-German relations. The NA President has underlined that
Armenia is interested in expanding its relations with Germany with
bilateral, as well as multilateral formats. In his word, the European
direction and the European integration is one of the priorities of
the foreign policy of the Republic of Armenia, and in that respect
also our country highlights the cooperation with Germany.
The President of the National Assembly highlighted the development of
the inter-parliamentary cooperation as an important lever of advancing
the political dialogue between the countries. He deemed necessary the
further deepening of inter-parliamentary cooperation, the activation
of bilateral contacts and the cooperation over the issues of bilateral
interest in the international parliamentary organizations.
Thanking for the invitation and warm reception the President of
the Bundestag has greatly emphasized the need of the development of
inter-parliamentary cooperation, stressing that the German Parliament
is concerned to deepen and reinforce the cooperation with the Armenian
Parliament. To Norbert Lammert's conviction, in the reinforcement of
inner-state relations big role is reserved to the parliaments. He
deemed important the activation of the contacts, the mutual visits
in order the German deputies would have right pictures on Armenia
and regional problems.
The President of the Bundestag highly appreciated the significant
progress, which has registered Armenia in democratic processes.
In the course of the meeting both sides also have touched upon
the regional problems. Hovik Abrahamyan has stressed that Armenia
highlights the reinforcement of peace and stability in the region,
the creation of atmosphere of mutual trust. The NA President has
noted that Armenia has repeatedly announced that the Karabakh problem
should be settled only within the OSCE Minks Group, through peaceful
negotiations. Meanwhile, Azerbaijan due to its oil dollars, with
year by year growing military budget, bellicose statements and the
snipers' shootings impedes the peaceful settlement of the issue, the
establishment of the security and peace in the region. He has noted
with sorrow that the international community does not give adequate
assessment to Azerbaijan's such work style. Hovik Abrahamyan has
also touched upon the settlement of the Armenian-Turkish relations,
noting that Armenia has always made constructive initiatives, has
adhered to the spirit of the protocols signed in Zurich, whereas
Turkey continues to advance preconditions lacking in the protocols,
which are inadmissible for Armenia from the beginning.
Norbert Lammert has also highlighted the regional stability and
peace, noting that it's visible for him what complications clash the
settlement of the NK problem.
During the meeting both sides also discussed other issues of bilateral
interest. In the end the President of the Bundestag left a note in
the NA Book of Honourable Guests.
Norbert Lammert accompanied by Hovik Abrahamyan took a tour in the
building of the National Assembly and was in the Session Hall.
