The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia, Edward Nalbandian, who is on a visit to Germany, on Friday met, at the Friedrich Ebert Foundation in capital city Berlin, with Bundestag members as well as leading political scientists and analysts of the country.

Vice-President Edelgard Bulmahn of the German Bundestag also was in attendance to this event.

Appreciating the Bundestag’s adoption of the resolution on Armenian Genocide recognition, the Armenian FM lauded this principled position by the German legislature.

The discussants conferred on Armenian-German cooperation as well as the prospects for its further strengthening and deepening.

Separately, Nalbandian reflected on Armenia-European Union relations.

In addition, the FM of Armenia briefed the interlocutors on the details of the large-scale hostilities which Azerbaijan had unleashed against Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh), in early April.

He also spoke about the ongoing efforts, by Armenia and the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Minsk Group co-chair countries (Russia, US, and France), to push the Nagorno Karabakh peace process forward. In this connection, the minister noted, however, that Azerbaijan refuses to implement the respective agreements, and continues to aggravate the situation along its line of contact with Artsakh.

The FM also informed the German lawmakers and analysts on the continued reforms in Armenia.

Furthermore, the interlocutors reflected on several urgent regional matters, and the avenues for their resolution.

Edward Nalbandian also responded to numerous questions posed by those participating in this talk.
