“The stable development of the Eurasian Region is possible only in the secure environment. The conflicts in the South Caucasus impede the development of the region,” Speaker of the Armenian Parliament Ararat Mirzoyan stated at his speech at the Fourth Meeting of Speakers of the Eurasian Countries' Parliaments.
Reaffirming Armenia’s devotion to the exclusively peaceful settlement of Nagorno Karabakh in the format of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairmanship, Mirzoyan said: “Any attempt of solving this conflict through military way is an encroachment for the human rights, democracy and peace. The issue of the status and security of Nagorno Karabakh, the respect of the undeniable right of the people’s secure and free existence are of prior importance.”
Reflecting on the integration processes within EAEU and wider in the Eurasian space, Mirzoyan stressed: “Armenia attaches importance to the expansion of the external economic relations between the members of the organization, as well as other colleagues. Armenia makes efforts for effective completion of the negotiations with Singapore, Serbia, Egypt and India to reach more mutually beneficial economic platforms of cooperation. The agreements with Iran and China have already been ratified by the National Assembly of Armenia.”
