23.11.2021 | 13:22On November 23, the President of the French Senate Gérard Larcher hosted the Delegation led by the Armenian NA President Alen Simonyan, in Paris on a working visit. Alen Simonyan expressed his gratitude to Gérard Larcher for the invitation to take part in the Forum entitled ‘Armenia After One Year.’
The parties considered remarkable that the Forum would be held one year after almost unanimous adoption of the resolution on the Necessity of the Recognition of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic on November 23, 2020 and after 20 years of the adoption of the law recognizing the Armenian Genocide by France.
Simonyan said that those historical events are exceptional manifestations of solidarity towards Armenia and the Armenian people, and unique examples of unanimity in the domestic politics of France. In this context Armenia highly appreciated the adoption of the resolutions on condemning the Azerbaijani-Turkish aggression against Artsakh and the necessity of the recognition of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic by the two Chambers of Parliament of France, as well as the humanitarian assistance provided by the French government and different organizations.
Presenting details on the post-war situation at Larcher’s request, Alen Simonyan stressed the call of Armenia to all international colleagues – to distinctly and targetedly react to the actions seriously endangering the regional peace and security by the Azerbaijani side and undertake practical steps in preventing theme and withdrawal of the armed forces of Azerbaijan from the republic of Armenia. The parties documented the importance of the peaceful settlement process of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict under the auspice of and within the framework of the mandate of the OSCE Minsk Group. During the talk the attention was drawn to the urgent settlement of the post-war humanitarian problems, including the necessity of the repatriation of all prisoners of war and civilian hostages.
