YEREVAN. – President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan on Thursday received a delegation from the British Group Inter-Parliamentary Union, led by Head of Group John Whittingdale (UK House of Commons).   

The President recorded that some members of this delegation have visited Armenia several times, they are well informed of the agenda of Armenian-British relations, and have their input in the development of bilateral collaboration.   

“I underscore interparliamentary cooperation, the British-Armenian group’s activities in the deepening of Armenia-United Kingdom [UK] relations, and am confident that the activeness we see is also a result of that faction. We are greatly interested in the deepening of these relations,” he stressed, in particular.

Sargsyan also highlighted the MPs’ visits to Nagorno-Karabakh, and thanked those British parliamentarians who have been to Karabakh and got acquainted, on location, with the process of state building in Nagorno-Karabakh.
In turn, the British MPs expressed willingness to further increase their efforts to support Armenia and the Armenian nation. 

“We are all united in supporting Armenia, and we consider ourselves Armenia’s friends who will continue their mission,” the UK parliamentarians specifically noted. 

In addition, President Serzh Sargsyan responded to the questions of interest to the British guests.
