ArmInfo. "Armenia is the guarantor of security of the Artsakh Republic, but the landowners are citizens of Artsakh. Our position is unchanged, at no international meetings, in any format, not a single decision, which is unacceptable to the NKR public or which poses a threat to its security, can not be adopted, "RA NA Speaker Ara Babloyan said at a meeting of the Armenia- Artsakh Interparliamentary Cooperation Commission on October 10.
Babloyan stressed that he hopes that this meeting promotes the development and activation of the Armenian-Artsakh inter-parliamentary relations. The Speaker of the Parliament noted that the Presidents of Armenia Artsakh repeatedly stated that the international community must respect the will of the NKR people for self-determination. The entry of Artsakh into the composition of Azerbaijan is impossible and unacceptable, he stressed. "A month ago, a regular meeting of the Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan was held, which was an important step for the activation of the negotiation process, but in order to achieve real progress in the negotiations, Azerbaijan must first abandon the idea of presenting Artsakh in its composition, even theoretically," Babloyan underlined.
The head of the Armenian National Assembly also noted that this is the first meeting after the constitutional reforms in both Armenia and the NKR. Constitutional reforms are necessary for more effective governance and raising the level of democracy. "As a result of the referendums, Artsakh and Armenia have chosen the path of development that best corresponds to the internal and external characteristics of the country and the needs of citizens," Babloyan said, stressing that of course the postconstitutional processes in Armenia and Artsakh have both similarities and differences.
"The existence of the two Armenian states is the wealth of our people and we are obliged to cooperate closely in all spheres for the benefit of the two states, I am convinced that today's meeting is another opportunity for coordinating our relations and relations, exchanging information, coordinating a joint strategy of actions and tactics" , - concluded Babloyan.
