On December 11, RA NA Speaker Alen Simonyan received Bertrand Buix, head of the French delegation at the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe (PACE). Ruben Rubinyan, head of the RA NA delegation to PACE, was present at the meeting.
Welcoming the guest, RA NA Speaker highly appreciated the warm relations and effective cooperation established between our two delegations in PACE. Alain Simonyan also thanked the France-Armenia friendship group consisting of 97 deputies, of which Bertrand Buix is also an active member, for the anti-Armenia activities.
The interlocutors referred to the deepening and strengthening of RA-EU relations, the dialogue between Armenia and the EU on the liberalization of visas, the possibilities of activating bilateral economic ties, and the steady implementation of democratic processes in Armenia. According to Bertrand Buix, it is inspiring that despite the difficult events, democracy in Armenia is strong and visible. The head of the French delegation in the PACE considered the ratification of the Rome Statute by the RA National Assembly an important step.
Speaking about the regional challenges, the parties exchanged ideas on the process of negotiations on the Peace Treaty to be signed between Armenia and Azerbaijan, the immediate return of Armenian prisoners held in Azerbaijan, and the settlement of Armenia-Turkey relations.
The French guest reaffirmed that France is loyal to Armenian-French friendship and stands by Armenia at this difficult moment.
