YEREVAN, JULY 22, ARMENPRESS. Speaker of Parliament of Armenia Alen Simonyan received today the Chair of the European Parliament’s Committee on Foreign Affairs (AFET) David McAllister and his delegation, the Parliament’s press service said.

Speaker Simonyan said that the activity of AFET aimed at strengthening the resilience of the region is important, adding that the level of engagement and understanding of the European Parliament in the post-war humanitarian situation is big.

In this context Alen Simonyan expressed gratitude to David McAllister and Željana Zovko (Vice-Chair) for the impartial position and for the continuous efforts aimed at establishing peace in our region.

Details relating to the joint post and future agenda programs were discussed during the meeting. The conversation also touched upon the unequivocal position recorded in the European Parliament’s respective resolutions and reports over a number of key issues for Armenia, particularly, the latest Nagorno Karabakh war, the encroachments against Armenia’s sovereign territory and the necessity of immediately releasing Armenian prisoners of war.

Issues relating to parliamentary opposition were also touched upon during the talk.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
