European parliamentarians visit Genocide Memorial
After their visit to the Nagorno Karabakh Republic on October 28, European parliamentarians Damien Abad (European Peoples' Party) and Michele Rivasi (Group of the Greens/European Free Alliance) today visited the Armenian Genocide Memorial Complex in Yerevan.
They were accompanied by Armenian parliamentarians Naira Zohrabyan and Ara Nranyan.
The group laid flowers to the Memorial to the Genocide victims.
Emphasizing their visit to NKR, Damien Abad said they wanted to show the sides how to find a solution to the conflict.
"It is necessary that the co-chairing countries of the OSCE Minsk group France, USA and Russia fulfill their commitments," said Damien Abad.
He hailed the trilateral meeting of the Armenian Azerbaijani and Russian Presidents in Astrakhan.
According to the European Peoples' Party representative, the declaration signed during the trilateral meeting envisages swap of prisoners of war and guarantees a way to prolonged peace.
"Armenia and Karabakh are left out of different regional programs due to the unsettled conflict," Michele Rivasi stressed. "Armenia, Karabakh and Azerbaijan can reach an agreement over concrete programs, in particular those concerning the sphere of energy," he added.
