Within the framework of his visit to Helsinki, the Foreign Minister of
Armenia, Edward Nalbandian, met with the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly’s
Rapporteur on Nagorno Karabakh Goran Lenmarker.

During the meeting the interlocutors discussed the latest developments
in the process of settlement of the Artsakh issue. Stressing the
importance of the declaration signed between the Presidents of Armenia,
Azerbaijan and Russia in Moscow on November 2, Edward Nalbandian
noted that Azerbaijan’s attempts to ignore the provisions of the
declaration and its distorted comments of the document hamper the
effectiveness of the negotiation process and its progress.

Edward Nalbandian noted that Armenia attaches importance to
parliamentary diplomacy as a working format for discussing
issues. Goran Lenmarker noted that the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly
has always been and remains a supporter of the resolution of the
Karabakh issue through peaceful negotiations.
