YEREVAN, MARCH 6, ARMENPRESS: Delegation led by the President of
Bundestag of Federal Republic of Germany (FRG) Norbert Lammert
had a meeting with the members of the Armenian NA Armenia-Germany
Friendship Group, the Standing committees on Foreign Relations and
European Integration.
As reports Armenpress was informed from public relations and media
department of NA, welcoming the visit of the Bundestag delegation to
Armenia, the Head of the NA Armenia-Germany Friendship Group Artak
Davtyan thanked the Federal Republic of Germany and the German people
for the comprehensive support and assistance shown to Armenia. In his
words, the formed relations are evaluated in the National Assembly,
and it's not accidental that Armenia-Germany Friendship Group is one of
the biggest and most active ones, including all the political forces
represented in the parliament. Artak Davtyan expressed conviction
that the visit of the President of the Bundestag would give a new
impetus for further enlivening and deepening of inter-parliamentary
relations and bilateral relations.
Highlighting the inter-parliamentary relations, the Chair of the
Standing Committee on European Integration Naira Zohrabyan has noted
that we should more effectively use the possibilities given in the
parliamentary diplomacy. In her word, the fact that some MPs, factions
of the Bundestag sometimes make statements, bring forward draft
resolutions, where the Nagonro Karabakh and regional conflicts are
distorted, perhaps, is also the consequence of non-decent awareness,
and the lack of it can be filled in through mutually active contacts
and bilateral activities. As a member of the PACE Armenian delegation
and Deputy Chair of the Euronest Political Committee Naira Zohrabyan
has highlighted that, as well as the expansion of cooperation of the
delegations of the two countries in other international parliamentary
structures.
Touching upon the efforts of the Republic of Armenia towards
European integration the Deputy Chairman of the NA Standing
Committee on Foreign Relations Alexander Arzumanyan has highlighted
the cooperation with Federal Republic of Germany, Bundestag and
the political forces represented there. In his word, the bilateral
ties, the inter-parliamentary cooperation, the experience of the FRG
democracy, can greatly promote the improvement of the legislation,
the deepening of European integration and processes of democratization.
Thanking for the warm reception the President of the FRG Bundestag
Norbert Lammert noted that the visit to Armenia should become a basis
for deepening the bilateral relations. He expressed readiness for the
reinforcement of inter-parliamentary cooperation, further revelations
of democratization potential and their development. Introducing the
hard and dramatic path of Germany's passed democratization, by his
characterization, Norbert Lammert has said that they are very sensitive
towards similar issues and are ready to support all the countries,
which have its wish and need.
Touching upon the mass assaults of the pro-Azerbaijani forces in the
FRG Bundestag, Norbert Lammert has underlined that the inner-political
problems of Azerbaijan are deeply discussed in the German Parliament,
which often get criticism.
The participants of the meeting also touched upon the regional
processes, the elections held in Armenia, the new possibilities of
cooperation and other issues.
