On October 30 Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia Edward Nalbandian received Milan Cabrnoch, Member of European Parliament and the Co-Chair of Armenia-European Union Parliamentary Cooperation Committee who has arrived to Armenia for participating in the Session of Bureau of the Cooperation Committee. The Co-Chair of Armenian side of Armenia-European Union Parliamentary Cooperation Committee Samvel Farmanyan was also present during the meeting.

Greeting the guest, Minister Nalbandian stressed the importance of the further development and enhancement of relations with the EU and that the inter-parliamentary interaction has an important place in this process.

During the meeting the EP resolution on "Eastern Partnership" which was adopted last week was discussed. In this context Edward Nalbandian stated the wording on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict is in contradiction to the European Union's official position, as well as to the positions of internationally mandated format of mediation - the Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group, Russia, USA and France. The Minister also added that the authors of such wording should understand that they bear responsibility for its possibly negative impact on the negotiation process and undermining of the efforts of the Co-Chairs aimed at the peaceful settlement of the conflict.

During the conversation the sides touched upon the further programs and upcoming steps for inter-parliamentary cooperation.
