Ani Mshetsyan. Ara Babloyan, the Chairman of the National Assembly of
Armenia, met with the Marshal of the Seym of Poland Marek Kuchcinski
on October 20 in Warsaw.

According to the press service of the Armenian Parliament, Babloyan
noted that over the past 25 years, the countries have developed
friendly relations, political dialogue and effective cooperation in
various fields.

Ara Babloyan stressed that cooperation in the parliamentary format
plays an important role in enriching the Armenian-Polish interstate
cooperation and deepening the existing friendly ties. According to the
head of the Armenian parliament, the activation of ties between the
friendship groups in the parliaments can play an important role in the
development of the Armenian-Polish inter-parliamentary dialogue.
According to Babloyan, there is a great potential for development of
cooperation between the parliamentarians of Armenia and Poland, not
only in bilateral but also in multilateral format.

Touching upon the Karabakh issue, Babloyan noted that Armenia sees no
alternative to a peaceful settlement of the problem. Touching upon the
war unleashed by Azerbaijan in April last year, the head of the
Armenian parliament stressed that the atrocities committed by the
Azerbaijani side once again demonstrated the attitude of the
Azerbaijani leadership towards human life. The RA Parliament Speaker
noted that it is not clear how many more young people will die due to
the fault of the Azerbaijani side and its unwillingness to solve the
problem peacefully.

Marek Kuchcinski said that cooperation in the parliamentary format
will continue. He noted that Armenians are friends of the Poles, the
best proof of which is the historic resolution adopted yesterday in
the Senate, timed to coincide with the 650th anniversary of the
creation of the Armenian community of Poland. The sides also discussed
specific programs for the development of bilateral and multilateral
cooperation.
