Armenian delegation active in European Parliament

At the European Parliament session in Strasbourg,
Armenian delegation member Raffi Hovhannisian, from
the Heritage party, met separately with the
parliament’s cultural committee president, Emmanuel
Chingeris, exchanging thoughts mainly about the
happenings in the Old Julfa Armenian cemetery. He also
participated in sessions in Belarus and Turkey
centering on freedom of speech, and met with Jacque
Lejandri, president of the European Parliament
culture, science, and education committee.
Hovhannisian hoped that Armenian cultural monuments in
Turkey, Azerbaijan, and Nakhichevan would be respected
in the same manner as monuments in Europe.

Today the Armenian delegation will leave Strasbourg
for Iceland, where they will participate in a NATO
executive session.
