As ARMENPRESS was informed from the National Assembly of Armenia, in a conversation with his colleague, the President of the National Assembly of Armenia noted that in recent years a positive dynamic of the development of bilateral relations has been observed in the political platform between Armenia and Austria: active reciprocal visits, meetings at the level of presidents, prime ministers, foreign ministers have taken place.

Issues related to Armenia-EU visa liberalization, opening of the Austrian Embassy in Armenia, opening of Austrian visa services in Yerevan were discussed during the conversation.

The parties also touched upon the importance of the centuries-old Armenian community in Austria, which is a reliable bridge between the two countries. Christine Schwarz-Fuchs proudly emphasized Armenians' great contribution to their country's cultural, economic and political life.

At the end of the meeting the President of the Federal Council of Austria highlighted the visit of the President of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia, noting that it will provide new opportunities for the expansion of inter-parliamentary cooperation between Armenia and Austria. "We are interested that people of Nagorno Karabakh live in favorable conditions.
