Armenian MP suggests a meeting between Foreign Relations Committees of Armenia and Azerbaijan

ArmInfo. Chairman of the NA  Standing Committee on Foreign Relations,  Sargis Khandanyan, has  proposed  to the Chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee of  Azerbaijan's Milli Majlis to organize a joint meeting to discuss the  peace treaty and  its ratification process details.

As Khandanyan noted on his Facebook page, reaching an agreement  between Armenia and Azerbaijan on the draft peace agreement will be  an important stage marking the completion of negotiations on this  document. "Emphasizing our role as parliamentarians elected directly  by the people and responsible for protecting their interests, we  recognize that the agreement must be ratified by the parliaments of  both countries after it is signed," Khandanyan noted.

In addition, the MP expressed confidence that such a meeting would  provide an opportunity to discuss issues related to the role of  parliaments in the peace process. It would also facilitate dialogue  on the future of inter-parliamentary cooperation at both bilateral  and multilateral levels. "We can consider a neutral territory on the  Armenian-Azerbaijani border as the venue for the first meeting,"  Khandanyan concluded.
