National Assembly Naira Zohrabyan received the Ambassador of Ukraine
to Armenia Alexander Bozhko. During the meeting officials discussed
issues of European integration of the two states, as well as Eastern
Partnership programs. Naira Zohrabyan and Alexander Bozhko stressed
the significance of intensifying bilateral relations between states,
as well as developing parliamentary diplomacy and the need to exchange
of experience in constitutional and other areas. Addressing the issue
of Ukraine’s participation in GUAM, Naira Zohrabyan mentioned that the
position of Ukraine on certain issues causes concern and expressed hope
that Ukraine will take a more balanced position on priority matters
for Armenia. She also noted that any issue or problem can be solved
through discussions. According to Naira Zohrabyan, a memorandum of
inter-parliamentary cooperation signed between Armenia and Ukraine
does not serve its purpose and proposed to take steps to activate
the provisions set forth in the memorandum. The parties have agreed
that, despite some differences, further cooperation between the sides
is possible around prior interests, press service of RA National
