Members of the Hayastan parliamentary faction met with the ambassadors of Sweden, the Netherlands, and Belgium to discuss a range of domestic and foreign policy issues. The meeting was attended by faction leader Seyran Ohanyan and MPs Anna Grigoryan, Artur Khachatryan, Armen Gevorgyan, and Kristine Vardanyan.
During the meeting, attention was given to guarantees for ensuring peace with Azerbaijan. The lawmakers raised the issues of the return of captives held in Azerbaijan, as well as the destruction of Armenian cultural heritage in Karabakh.
The MPs presented their views on Armenia’s internal political situation to Sweden’s Ambassador Eva Sundquist, Netherlands Ambassador Marieke Monroy-Winter, and Belgium’s Ambassador Eric De Muynck. They also discussed Armenia–European Union cooperation, emphasizing the importance of EU support in implementing reforms in the judicial and legal sphere.
Faction members expressed concern over what they described as democratic backsliding in Armenia.
After the departure of the International Committee of the Red Cross from Azerbaijan, no independent international body or organization has visited Armenian detainees, and there is no reliable information about their health condition.
