Sargis Khandanyan, the chairman of the RA NA Standing Committee on Foreign Relations, "My Azeri partner" publicly rejected my proposal on the meeting on the exchange of views on the draft peace agreement, I was called "populist." If peace propaganda is populism, I proudly accept that label as long as it is necessary.
My offer remains on the table. I am ready to be involved in the measures to strengthen confidence at the inter-parliamentary level, working tirelessly for peace and stability in our region, "he wrote in X.
Recently, Sargis Khandanyan appealed to the Chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee of the Azerbaijani Mix Mejlis, offering a meeting of the Foreign Relations Committees of the Armenian and Azerbaijani parliaments.
"This meeting will provide an opportunity to have discussions on the exchange of views on the draft peace agreement and its ratification process. Moreover, it will enable issues related to the role of parliaments in the peace process, promoting the future of inter-parliamentary cooperation, both in bilateral and multilateral parliamentary platforms. Such an initiative can fill out other measures to strengthen our countries and contribute to the strengthening of regional stability.
I hope that my counterpart of Milli Mejlis will respond positively, and we will be able to agree on the day of the meeting and other necessary details. As a first meeting place, we can consider a neutral location on the Armenia-Azerbaijan border, "Khandanyan wrote.
