ArmInfo.On October 2, RA NA President Alen Simonyan received the delegation led by Chair of Cyprus-Armenia Inter-Parliamentary Committee on Cooperation Harris Georgiades.
As the press service of the RA NA reports, Alen Simonyan expressed his gratitude for one more resolution unanimously adopted by the House of Representatives of Cyprus a few days ago, which condemns the large-scale aggression unleashed against the Nagaorno Karabakh people and the policy of ethnic cleansing by Azerbaijan.
He highly appreciated the keynote speech by the President of the House of Representatives Annita Demetriou within the framework of the European Conference of the Presidents of Parliaments of the Council of Europe held in Dublin on September 28, where the crimes being committed against the Nagorno Karabakh people were voiced, and was called on to the international community to take steps for preventing ethnic cleansing.
At the meeting humanitarian problems regarding our compatriots forcibly displaced from Nagorno Karabakh were discussed. The Cypriot parliamentarians noted that they are led by the symbol of solidarity towards Armenia, and they are ready to support our country as much as possible. According to the Committee Chair, our countries have the same challenges and with pacifism are also the same, thus, they are more sensible towards each other's pain.
During the meeting, bilateral agenda items of the legislative bodies also were discussed, both sides highlighting the important role of the Inter-Parliamentary Committees on Cooperation functioning in parliaments.
