ArmInfo. Our commitment is the establishment of peace in the region: the Chair of the NA Standing Committee on State and Legal Affairs, the Head of the NA  Armenia-Germany Friendship Group Vladimir Vardanyan said at the  meeting with the Member of the Bundestag of the Federal Republic of  Germany Christian Haase, the Director of the Foreign Affairs Division  of Free University of Berlin Doctor Herbert Grieshop, the Director of  the Scientific Services Hotline Unit Doctor Andrew Trampe, the  Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Federal Republic  of Germany to the Republic of Armenia Viktor Richter.

As the press service of the RA NA reports, Vladimir Vardanyan  highlighted the efforts of our country aimed at ensuring peace and  stability not in the region, but also underlined the necessity of  support of the EU democratic countries in that issue.

According to the Chair of the NA Standing Committee on State and  Legal Affairs, peace is a bilateral process. "We are ready to go for  peace with an authoritarian state, but reaching peace is a bilateral  process," Vladimir Vardanyan noted and added that Armenia lives under  everyday threat of the Azerbaijani aggression.

As Vladimir Vardanyan assured, it is more complicated in Artsakh. "We  can have genocidal situation in Nagorno Karabakh," the Head of the NA  Armenia-Germany Friendship Group said.

He also mentioned that Artsakh connects Armenia and the civilized  world with five- kilometre road, which is regularly closed and  opened.

In the opinion of the Member of the Bundestag of the Federal Republic  of Germany Christian Haase, the conflict should be solved through  peaceful, negotiation way. "The problem should be solved through the  establishment of equal relations and economic ties between each  other," Christian Haase noted and documented that they critically  approach the Azerbaijani aggression. "Azerbaijan should realize that  each aggression will turn the region into explosive barrel," the  Member of the FRG Bundestag said.

At the meeting reference was also made to the EU Mission to the  region. As Vladimir Vardanyan assured, the EU Mission is of important  significance in the establishment of peace in the region: "We  consider that after September 12 the EU Mission brought stability in  the region," the Chair of the NA Standing Committee on State and  Legal Affairs said. According to Vladimir Vardanyan, though Armenia  is a small country, but it is a border between democracy and  authoritarianism, international law and aggression, democratic values  and real politics.

The deputy of the NA Civil Contract Faction Lilit Kirakosyan,  thanking the German guests for the sincere talk, underlined the  importance of the development of the Armenian-German  inter-parliamentary relations.  

The interlocutors also exchanged ideas on the expansion of the  inter-parliamentary relations between the two countries, reaffirmed  the commitment of ensuring the continuity of the current work in the  cooperation activeness. Bothe sides highlighted the joint efforts of  activating the cooperation in the spheres of mutual interest were  emphasized.

Vladimir Vardanyan expressed hope that, as a result of bilateral  meetings, the inter- parliamentary relations will reach to a higher  level.
