Agenda won’t include anti-Armenian resolution?
On May 17, members of the delegation headed by Chairman of the Hungarian Parliament Laslo Kover visited the Tsitsernakaberd memorial.
They laid flowers and a wreath in memory of the victims of the Great Armenian Genocide and visited the Armenian Genocide Museum.
The Chairman of the Hungarian Parliament left a note in the book for honorable guests and planted a fir tree at the Remembrance Square, reported the NA press service.
The parliamentary delegations of both countries held a wide-format meeting today.
Greeting his Hungarian counterpart and his delegation, Hovik Abrahamyan voiced hope that the visit would contribute to the development of bilateral relations. Touching upon the EU-Armenia Association Agreement, the NA Chairman mentioned that he fully shared the view on showing an approach of differentiation in the framework of the Eastern Partnership Plan. Chairman of the Hungarian Parliament Laslo Kover mentioned that the mutual visits will reinforce bilateral ties and especially referred to economic cooperation.
Attaching importance to the development of inter-parliamentary cooperation, the NA Chairman noted that the inter-parliamentary friendship groups would contribute to that cooperation. Hovik Abrahamyan expressed doubt over the anti-Armenian resolution presented by several Hungarian MPs in the country's parliament. Expressing hope that the resolution would not be adopted, the NA Chairman considered the Hungarian MPs' awareness of the distortion of the essence of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in the resolution as necessary.
The Chairman of the Hungarian Parliament mentioned that the resolution would most likely not even be included in the parliament's agenda, especially since the ruling majority has no such intention. According to Laslo Kover, Hungary is in favor of a balanced approach.
