Georgian Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili and Alen Simonyan, the President of the National Assembly of Armenia, on Wednesday discussed the existing relations between the countries, including trade and people-to-people ties, as part of the Georgian official’s informal visit to Armenia.

Papuashvili and Simonyan agreed to implement “concrete initiatives” to deepen the parliamentary cooperation between Georgia and Armenia, the Parliament press office said.

Regional peace and security, as well as the role of the parliaments in this regard, were also reviewed by the sides.

The Armenian official congratulated the Georgian Parliament Speaker on obtaining the European Union membership candidate status.

The Georgian parliamentary delegation accompanying Papuashvili includes the Vice Parliament Speaker Gia Volski, Nikoloz Samkharadze, the Parliament's Foreign Affairs Committee Chair and Anton Obolashvili, a member of the Armenian friendship group in the Georgian Parliament.

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
