The Latvian Parliament could consider a statement condemning the
Armenian Genocide before April 24, Deputy Speaker of the Armenian
National Assembly Edward Sharmazanov told reporters today.
During a recent trip to the Baltic States Sharmazanov had a number of
meetings and discussions, during which reference was made to Armenia's
relations with the three countries, the Armenia-EU cooperation, the
settlement of the Karabakh conflict, the Armenian-Turkish relation
and the recognition and condemnation of the Armenian Genocide.
The Deputy Speaker informed that Armenian Genocide exhibitions were
organized in Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia with the support of the
Parliament Speakers of the three countries. He said that similar
exhibitions are planned in Greece and Cyprus, as well.
The Deputy Speaker stressed that the Baltic States are interested in
developing relations with Armenia on different levels.
Sharmazanov reiterated Armenia's willingness to continue the dialogue
with European partners, as there is no alternative to democratic
values in Armenia.
During the discussions on the Nagorno Karabakh issue, the Deputy
Speaker noted that Armenia sees the settlement of the conflict only
in a peaceful way and added that "there is no alternative to Artsakh's
independence."
As for the Armenian-Turkish relations, Sharmazanov said Armenia stands
for establishment of relations without preconditions. He clarified that
Turkey not only fails to ratify the Armenian-Turkish protocols, but
also uses anti-democratic methods and upholds the blockade of Armenia.
