Armenia`s Parliament Speaker has not yet received letters from his  Federation Council partners 

ArmInfo.Speaker of the National Assembly of Armenia Alen Simonyan has not yet received letters from his partners from the Federation Council of the Russian Federation. Simonyan himself told reporters today.

Earlier, speaking at the at the Conference of Speakers of European  Union Parliaments, Simonyan, in particular, stated:  "Given the  conference's focus on Russia's invasion of Ukraine and the Middle  East conflict, I want to restate that Armenia firmly upholds the  territorial integrity of Ukraine, as well as that of Moldova,  Georgia, Cyprus and all other states."

In this regard, Matvienko asked Simonyan on whose behalf he was  speaking. "Definitely not on behalf of the Armenian people, with whom  Russia has a centuries-old friendship. We cannot ignore this kind of  Russophobic speeches. I would send a written request to the Armenian  parliament asking on whose behalf he spoke and whether the Armenian  parliament shares the assessments expressed at this meeting,"  Matvienko said. She expressed hope that the country's parliament will  also present its position and ask its speaker "who gave him the right  to make such passages on behalf of Armenia." "We will not ignore this  kind of Russophobic, anti-Russian speech. It was just a shame for our  colleague that he had already crossed all the red lines," concluded  the speaker of the Federation Council of the Russian Federation.

On this occasion, the Speaker of the National Assembly stated that  Armenia has never questioned the territorial integrity of Ukraine.  Simonyan noted that in his speech he did not use the definition of  "illegal," speaking only of "invasion." He added that Yerevan  recognizes the territorial integrity of Ukraine, Georgia, Cyprus and  other countries, and in this context recognizes the territorial  integrity of Russia. "The official position of Armenia has never been  different, and the same position applies to Russia, the  internationally recognized border of which no one questions. At the  same time, even Belarus and Turkey did not recognize the new  territories that Russia considers part of its state. Why, for example  , Ms. Matvienko and our other partners don't ask anything about this  to the President of Turkey, even considering the fact that Erdogan  every time emphasizes that he does not recognize Crimea as Russian,"  Simonyan raised questions.

He also expressed regret that those who talk about the friendship of  the Armenian and Russian peoples did not pay attention to the fact  that Matvienko's April 24 statement said nothing about the Armenian  Genocide. "My counterpart talks about friendship and partnership, but  in a statement made on such a day, she does not say a single sentence  about this date," the head of the Armenian parliament emphasized.
