Ambassador to Armenia were also present at the meeting. Pointing out
to the dynamic development of the Armenian-Polish relations Tigran
Torosian said that the current visit will convey a new impulse to
cooperation. He also stressed the importance of the visit within
the context of European integration, since Poland being an EU member
state has gained experience that can be interesting and useful for
Armenia. In his words, after the signing of the Armenia-EU Action
Plan the Armenian-Polish relations will acquire new possibilities
for development. When touching upon relations with the NATO the RA
NA chairman said there are opportunities to cooperate with Poland in
this context as well. "A deputy friendship group was formed in the RA
parliament, there is rich experience of contacts within international
structures. This is a good foundation for the development of the
Armenian-Polish relations," Torosian said.

For his part Bogdan Borusewicz said that his delegation includes
members of the Seym, Senate and government. This fact proves the
importance Poland attaches to relations with Armenia. "As compared
to 1990-ies Armenia has made a big move," he remarked.

the Polish Senate Marshal said Poland is ready to assist in these
processes. He also stressed the importance of holding the upcoming
parliamentary election in accordance with European standards and
peaceful settlement of the existing conflicts.
