YEREVAN, JULY 3, ARMENPRESS. On July 3, the delegation headed by the President of the National Assembly of Armenia Alen Simonyan, who is in Poland on an official visit, met the experts of the Casimir Pulaski Security Research Center-Foundation in Warsaw.

As ARMENPRESS was informed from the National Assembly, at the meeting, the President of the National Assembly briefly touched on the agenda of democratic reforms implemented in Armenia, stressing the facts about Armenia's democratic achievements in the reports of a number of prestigious international organizations.

He reminded the audience that Armenia continues to go through great difficulties, facing security threats. In this context, the Armenian delegates detailed about the consequences of Azerbaijan's ongoing aggression against Armenia, stressing that Azerbaijan grossly violates the principles of international law and threatens Armenia's territorial integrity. "Azerbaijan, grossly violating the provisions of the trilateral declaration of November 9, 2020, has blocked the Lachin Corridor since December last year, which has led to a severe humanitarian crisis. 120,000 Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh live under complete siege," Alen Simonyan said.

Аnswering the experts' questions about establishing lasting peace in the region, Alen Simonyan highly appreciated the efforts of Western partners (USA, EU, France, Germany) in the process of establishing peace, stability and security in the South Caucasus.

"The Polish partners noted that the most difficult thing for conflicting countries is to find a final solution that satisfies the parties, but it is more difficult to leave the situation without a solution, which can lead to irreversible consequences.

Alen Simonyan assured that Armenia has no territorial demands from its neighbors and will continue to do its best for the security and peace in the region. It was also noted at the meeting that Azerbaijan constantly rejects all efforts aimed at peace, ignores the decisions of the European Court of Human Rights and the binding decision of the International Court of Justice, carrying out an open policy of ethnic cleansing in Nagorno-Karabakh.

Concluding the meeting, the President of the National Assembly assured that Armenians really believe that democracy, rule of law, human rights are guarantees of peaceful coexistence.
