Bishop, on the sidelines of the 131st session of the Assembly of the

role in the development of inter-state relations. Mutual visits could
be a good basis for the expansion of inter-parliamentary relations.

Armenian-Australian parliamentary cooperation.
Mr Sharmazanov commended Australia's balanced position on the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. He expressed his gratitude to the Parliament
of New South Wales for recognizing Nagorno-Karabakh's independence
and the Nagorno-Karabakh people's right to self-determination in 2012.
Also, in 1997, the Parliament of New South Wales approved a resolution
condemning the Armenian Genocide. In this context, Mr Sharmazanov
