Head of "My Step" faction: The results of parliamentary diplomacy  cannot be felt in one day

ArmInfo.The results of parliamentary diplomacy cannot be felt in one day, however, the results of our work over the past two years are very tangible. This  was stated during a press conference by head of the "My Step"  faction, MP Lilit Makunts.

The head of the "My Step" faction stated that during their business  trips, the MPs managed to correctly represent the interests of  Armenia and establish close contacts with the country's partners at  various international parliamentary platforms. "As a result of these  contacts, we were able to promptly notify our colleagues about the  aggression of Azerbaijan," she said.

Makunts also touched upon the resolution put into circulation by the  legal commission of the US House of Representatives, which concerns  the situation of internally displaced persons in Ukraine, Georgia,  Moldova and Azerbaijan.

"This is a rather complicated resolution, it was perceived by some  circles as anti-Russian, however, it contains accents that also  affect the interests of Armenia. In connection with this resolution,  representatives of Hay Dat, the Armenian Congress, as well as the  Armenian Embassy in the United States are doing a lot.  It is  necessary to see what further steps in connection with this  resolution will be in the Senate>,  the MP stressed. 

Makunts also stated that she is the head of the Armenia-US  parliamentary friendship group, but itspowers are rather limited and  it cannot take any action in connection with this issue. <However, we  are in constant contact with the congressmen, we communicate via  video link. We presented our colleagues with our position on this  issue and discussed the possibility of removing some formulations  from the resolution," Makunts stressed. 

To note, earlier the Committee on Judicial Issues of the House of  Representatives of the US Congress included in the agenda an  amendment by Congressmen Steve Shabot and Stephen Cohen. The  amendment deals with "refugees from the occupied territories of  Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova and Azerbaijan".
