Galust Sahakyan Receives Delegation Headed by Speaker of RF FA State Duma
1 / 10

On March 3, the Speaker of the RA National Assembly Galust Sahakyan received the delegation headed by the Speaker of the State Duma of the RF Federal Assembly (FA) Vyacheslav Volodin that had arrived in Yerevan on an official visit.

Welcoming the guests, the RA NA Speaker Galust Sahakyan congratulated Vyacheslav Volodin on being elected in the office of the Speaker of the State Duma.

The Head of the parliament has noted that the centuries-old relations between the Armenian and Russian peoples are based on mutual respect and affection.

Galust Sahakyan has underlined that the strategic cooperation of the two countries has reached a new level by joining the Eurasian Economic Union, which has created wide opportunities for the development of bilateral trade-economic relations.

Touching upon the cooperation in the legislative field, in this framework the RA NA Speaker highly assessed the joint effective work of the Inter-Parliamentary Committee for Cooperation between the RA National Assembly and the RF Federal Assembly and the Parliamentary Standing Committees.

In the context of the inter-parliamentary cooperation Galust Sahakyan emphasized the cooperation in the framework of the Parliamentary Assemblies, underlining that the mutual support on the international platforms stems from the allied interests of our countries.

In the RA NA Speaker’s word, Armenia highlights the role of Russia in the process of Nagorno Karabakh problem settlement as Minsk-Group Co-Chair country. Armenia has always been for the peaceful settlement of the problem, but has collided with Azerbaijan’s destructive style of work.

“Despite the agreements reached in Vienna and Saint-Petersburg, Azerbaijan ignores them and continues intensifying the situation on the line of contact. The Armenian side emphasizes the necessity of the implementation of the events aimed at the formation of the atmosphere of mutual trust. We are convinced that the peaceful settlement of the problem has no alternative,” the RA NA Speaker said.

Regarding the problem of the Armenian Genocide recognition, the Head of the parliament stressed with gratitude that still in 1995 the State Duma adopted a Resolution condemning the Armenian Genocide, recognizing April 24 Memorial Day of the Genocide victims. “The recognition and condemnation of this crime committed at the beginning of the 20th century is of importance in the prevention of the gravest crimes against humanity. The message of the Armenian people that survived the Genocide to the whole mankind is never ever ,” Galust Sahakyan noted.

Thanking his colleague for the warm reception, Vyacheslav Volodin has stated that the relations between the Russian and Armenian peoples have deep roots and formed traditions, which should be preserved and strengthened in the future. Referring to the strategic partnership and inter-parliamentary relations, the Speaker of the State Duma attached a great importance to the necessity of the coordinated work of the parliamentary delegations on international platforms.

Regarding the regional problems, he has noted that Russia does its best for the preservation of peace in the region. In this context Vyacheslav Volodin has stated that they see the settlement of Karabakh conflict exclusively through peaceful means: within Minsk Group format.

The interlocutors expressed hope these meetings will give a new quality and create prospects for the expansion of bilateral cooperation.

Afterwards the Speaker of the RA National Assembly Galust Sahakyan and the Speaker of the State Duma of the RF Federal Assembly (FA) Vyacheslav Volodin planted an evergreen fir-tree symbolizing the Armenian-Russian friendship at the Alley of Memory, in Parliament Park.
