On September 18 the RA NA Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan received the
Vice-President of the British-Armenian All-Party Parliamentary Group
John Whittingdale and Stephen Pound. The Ambassador of Great Britain
to the RA Jonathan Aves and the Head of the NA Armenia-Great Britain
Friendship Group Karen Chshmaritian attended the meeting.
Welcoming the guests the NA President noted that Armenia greatly
highlights the further development of relations with the United Kingdom
in different directions. Hovik Abrahamyan highlighted the necessity of
activation of inter-parliamentary cooperation not only with bilateral,
but also multilateral formats. Highly assessing the activity of the
British-Armenian Group of the parliament of the United Kingdom in the
development of inter-parliamentary relations of the two countries
he expressed conviction that the parliamentary diplomacy is one of
the important levers for advancing the political dialogue between the
countries. The NA President expressed confidence that the British MPs'
visit would boost the relations between the parliaments of the two
countries and the activity of the parliamentary friendship groups. He
deemed necessary the implementation of the concrete programmes in
different spheres.
The NA President introduced the regional developments to the guests.
Hovik Abrahamyan touched upon the process of the NK conflict
settlement, the Armenian-Turkish relations, highlighting the
necessity of forming an objective opinion on them abroad and in
international structures. In this context he highly assessed the
British parliamentarians' visit to Artsakh. Touching upon the decision
of Armenia's joining to the Customs Union, the NA President noted
that it stems from the interests of our country and added that the
decision does not mean at all suspension or weakening of political
dialogue with the European Union. "The European Union has been and
continues to remain one of the most important counterparts of the
Republic of Armenia," Hovik Abrahamyan noted.
Thanking for reception the Vice-President of the British-Armenian
All-Party Parliamentary Group John Whittingdale reaffirmed their
readiness to promote the activation and development of bilateral
inter-parliamentary relations and deepening of inner-state relations.
In his word, Great Britain highlights the role of Armenia in the
region, and Europe, particularly the United Kingdom are concerned of
developing and deepening the relations with Armenia. By the British
MPs' conviction, the basis of Armenia-EU relations is well laid. They
expressed conviction that from now on those relations will develop
and deepen, noting that during the recent years considerable progress
had been registered in Armenia.
