ArmInfo. Azerbaijani MPs have  arrived in Armenia to participate in a meeting of the Euronest  Parliamentary Assembly, Maria Karapetyan of the Civil Contract  parliamentary faction, who heads the Armenian delegation to Euronest,  told reporters.  

According to earlier reports, two Azerbaijani MPs accompanied by an  attendant were to arrive in Armenia's capital to participate in the  meetings of the Bureau and Committees of the Euronest Parliamentary  Assembly. MEPs and MPs from the Eastern Partnership member-states  will participate as well.     

Armenian MPs have not yet had any contacts with their Azerbaijani  counterparts. Ms Karapetyan reported that Armenian and Azerbaijani  MPs can have contacts in the formats of the meetings they attend on  various occasions. 

"When we go to the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly in Vienna we can see  representatives of different national delegations. The same is here.  It is an event of importance for our country, as we are hosting the 

Assembly in rotation," she said. 

She called for showing restraint in speech and in addressing  sensitive topics. Formal contacts with the Azerbaijani MPs is her  duty as a member of Armenia's ruling party, Ms Karapetyan said.  The  Azerbaijani MPs are not planned to talks to journalists.
