ArmInfo.On October 2, RA NA President Alen Simonyan received the delegation led by  Chair of 

Cyprus-Armenia Inter-Parliamentary Committee on Cooperation Harris Georgiades.

As the press service of the RA NA reports, Alen Simonyan expressed 

his gratitude for one more resolution unanimously adopted by the 

House of Representatives of Cyprus a few days ago, which condemns the 

large-scale aggression unleashed against the Nagaorno Karabakh people 

and the policy of ethnic cleansing by Azerbaijan.

House of Representatives Annita Demetriou within the framework of the 

European Conference of the Presidents of Parliaments of the Council 

of Europe held in Dublin on September 28, where the crimes being 

committed against the Nagorno Karabakh people were voiced, and was 

called on to the international community to take steps for preventing 

ethnic cleansing.

At the meeting humanitarian problems regarding our compatriots 

forcibly displaced from Nagorno Karabakh were discussed. The Cypriot 

parliamentarians noted that they are led by the symbol of solidarity 

towards Armenia, and they are ready to support our country as much as 

possible. According to the Committee Chair, our countries have the 

same challenges and with pacifism are also the same, thus, they are 

more sensible towards each other's pain.

During the meeting, bilateral agenda items of the legislative bodies 

also were discussed, both sides highlighting the important role of 

the Inter-Parliamentary Committees on Cooperation functioning in 

parliaments.
