The delegation led by Speaker of the National Assembly of Armenia Alen Simonyan is attending the four-day 143rd Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union being held under the auspices of the Parliament of Spain in Madrid, as reported the Public Relations and Communication Department of the National Assembly of Armenia.
In his speech at the session held on November 28, Simonyan expressed gratitude to his Spanish colleagues for organizing the assembly excellently and cordially hosting it after a two-year interval. The parliamentary speaker stated that Armenia and the Armenian people have been facing several domestic and foreign challenges over the past years. He emphasized that the Armenian government launched large-scale reforms after the velvet revolution in 2018 and considered the risk of destabilization and regional conflicts one of the serious challenges for democracy.
Speaking about war that Azerbaijan unleashed in Nagorno-Karabakh, Simonyan attached importance to the need to find a long-term settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict under the OSCE Minsk Group.
