1 / 3

On October 23, the RA NA Vice President Eduard Sharmazanov received the deputies Blanca Margarita Cuata Dominguez, Maria Cristina Teresa Garcia Bravo, Carlos Hernández Mirón and their accompanying persons, who had arrived in Armenia from Mexico.

The Head of the RA NA Armenia-Mexico Parliamentary Friendship Group Karen Avagyan and the member of the Group Gagik Melikyan took part in the meeting.

Welcoming the guests, the RA NA Vice President Eduard Sharmazanov has noted that the Mexican deputies’ visit is distinguished by the fact that this year sees the 25th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations of Armenia with Mexico. Touching upon the bilateral relations, the RA NA Vice President expressed confidence that the work of the Parliamentary Friendship Groups formed in the parliaments of the two countries would open a new page and raise the current relations of a new higher level in the political, economic and other spheres.

Eduard Sharmazanov offered condolences to his Mexican colleagues on the earthquake, the disaster occurred recently to Mexico, noting that the Armenian people understand well the Mexican people’s pain.

At the meeting the RA foreign political priorities were touched upon. Talking about the Armenian Genocide recognition process, Eduard Sharmazanov noted: “Our fighting is for justice and for prevention of genocides. We don’t consider any people, including the Turkish people, our enemies, but we think that first of all, it is necessary for the Turks to recognize the Armenian Genocide and reconcile with it, face its own history, as the denialism and falsification can bear new genocides and calamities.”

Mr Sharmazanov has informed that next year sees the 70th year of the Convention on Prevention and Punishment of the Genocide as a Crime adopted by the UN on 9 December 1948, so in this context Armenia will undertake new initiatives.

Talking about the NK problem, Eduard Sharmazanov referred to the two resolutions adopted by the parliament of the previous convocation of Mexico, noting that they were not only of anti-Armenian character, but they directly contradicted the assessments of the international community. “The UN has given the mandate of the solution of this problem to the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairmanship. In the international structures we should take steps, which should not contradict the assessments of the international community. This is an issue of the protection of human rights, but not a territorial quarrel: the people of Artsakh have the right to live independently, as a citizen of any subject of the former USSR,” the RA NA Vice President underlined.

In their words the Head of Mexico-Armenia Parliamentary Friendship Group Blanca Margarita Cuata Dominguez and the Member of the delegation Carlos Hernández Mirón defended the principle of the execution of the right to the nations’ self-determination.

Mrs Dominguez has expressed confidence that their visit will be a new impetus and develop the relations existing between the two countries, for which, using the parliamentary platform, they are ready to do their best. The guests were interested in Armenia’s passing into a system of parliamentary government, observed Armenia as a gate in terms of entering into the market of the EEC and other neighbouring countries.
