On April 14, the delegation led by the RA NA Deputy Speaker Eduard Sharmazanov, composed of the RA NA deputy, Head of Armenia-Poland Friendship Group Hovhannes Sahakyan, the Head of Public Relations and Media Department Arsen Babayan and the RA Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Edgar Ghazaryan had official meetings with the Speaker of the Senate of the Republic of Poland Stanislaw Karczewski and the Speaker of the Sejm Marek Kuchcinski in the city of Poznań.

The Speakers of the two Chambers of the Polish Parliament thanked the delegation for accepting the invitation and visiting the Republic of Poland and: within the framework of the visit the delegation will take part in the events dedicated to the 1050^th anniversary of the adoption of Christianity in Poland.

Eduard Sharmazanov presented to the Speakers the details of the military aggression unleashed by Azerbaijan on April 1-4. He has especially noted that the atrocities committed by the Azerbaijani armed forces completely remind the work style of ISIS: particularly, the child’s murder, the corpses’ dismemberments and beheadings, as well as the civilians’ murders in their houses.

“The people of Artsakh has the right to live in independent, free and secure Motherland, as the peoples of Poland and other states,” in his word noted the RA NA Deputy Speaker Eduard Sharmazanov.

He has added that in the 21^st century having closed borders is inadmissible, and Turkey closing the borders with the Republic of Armenia, in fact, keeps Armenia in blockade.

The RA NA Deputy Speaker expressed hope that by the end of the year the RA will have an approved agreement on cooperation with the EU.

The RA NA Deputy Speaker urged the Polish side to condemn the terrorism unleashed by Azerbaijan and to voice a targeted criticism in the international instances, as it is an obvious fact that the whole responsibility of the guilt of having victims in the April four-day war on the Line of Contact with Artsakh, lies on the shoulders of Azerbaijan’s current criminal authorities.

The Deputy Speaker of the RA Parliament drew the attention to the fact that the Azerbaijani side completely rejects the negotiation process of the problem settlement through the Minsk Group and other formats.

Talking about the Polish-Armenian bilateral and multilateral relations the Speakers of the two Chambers of the Parliament assured that especially at international platforms Armenia has the Polish side’s great support. Both sides discussed formats of the implementation of joint works for the provision of the support continuation, effective and coordinated work.

The RA NA Deputy Speaker Eduard Sharmazanov thanked the Speakers of the two Chambers of the parliament of the Republic of Poland for the reception at the high level. The RA NA Deputy Speaker has informed that this year sees the 650^th anniversary of the formation of the Armenian community in Poland.
