Monument to Armenian Genocide victims will be installed in Geneva

March 27, 2018 By administrator

A monument to the Armenian Genocide victims will be installed in Geneva’s Tremblay park next month.

The works to install the monument called “Les réverbères de la mémoire” (The Lanterns of Memory) are already underway. The author of the monument is French sculptor of Armenian origin Melik Ohanian, bluewin.ch reported.

The installation of the monument has been a disputed issue for a decade.

The idea of the project was born ten years ago, but the Armenian community finally got a permit to implement it only in 2016. The attorney, adviser and MP of Swiss People’s Party Yves Nidegger has applied for cancelling the decision of the city’s administration. He said the park was a green zone, and nothing can be build there except for the buildings in the interests of the citizens and exclusively related to the park development.

The project was to be implemented in Geneva’s Ariana park in 2014, but was turned down on the ground of “violation of Geneva’s neutrality on the international platform,” although the decision was actually adopted under the pressure of the Turkish authorities.

March 27, 2018 By administrator

All the favorable conditions are available to further enhance the Armenian-Bulgarian ties, Speaker of the Armenian National Assembly Ara Babloyan said at today’s meeting with Speaker of the Bulgarian National Assembly Tsveta Karayancheva in Geneva on the sidelines of the 138th Assembly of the Inter-Parliamentary Union (IPU), the parliament press service told Panorama.am.

Documenting that good tradition has already been formed between the Friendship Groups functioning in the legislative bodies of the two countries, Mr Babloyan highlighted the role of parliamentary diplomacy in terms of strengthening bilateral relations and deepening cooperation.

The top Armenian official congratulated his Bulgarian counterpart on assuming the Presidency of the EU Council and wished her success. “We share the motto of the Presidency of Bulgaria – ‘United We Stand Strong’,” he said.

Speaking about the Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement (CEPA) signed between Armenia and the European Union in Brussels in November 2017, the head of Armenia’s parliament stated that the agreement opens up a new page in the Armenia-EU relations. Ara Babloyan expressed the hope that Bulgaria would ratify the CEPA within a shorter period of time.

“Mrs Speaker, I am glad for our meeting and I believe that such regular meetings will give new impetus to the development of inter-state relations and strengthening of mutually beneficial bilateral cooperation,” Babloyan said.

Tsveta Karayancheva thanked the senior Armenian lawmaker for the meeting and noted: “I assure you that on behalf of Bulgaria, Armenia has a good friend which will support Armenia in its cooperation with the European Union.”

Tsveta Karayancheva invited Ara Babloyan to visit Bulgaria.

The sides agreed to deepen the parliamentary cooperation, as well as to undertake necessary steps towards the development of cooperation between the two countries in different spheres.

October 17, 2017 By administrator

Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan also had a meeting with the Armenian community representatives in the Armenian Embassy in Switzerland on Monday. During the meeting the President presented the results of talks with the Azerbaijani President, presidential press service reported.

“A few minutes ago the meeting with the Azerbaijani President ended: we have no concrete, the so-called, agreement on the ways of settling the conflict. But we agreed to take measures to ease tension to avoid losses in the frontline. I want to state that both the Azerbaijani President and I are deeply interested in this.

“God willing, he thinks this way always. He as well understands very well the complexity of the issue, of course, me too, but the problem is such that there will never be an easy solution. But I want you all to be confident on one issue – there is no settlement for us which can somehow undermine Karabakh’s security. The only settlement for us is that Karabakh be out of Azerbaijan. No Armenian leader can ever make such a decision and implement it, and we will do everything for that at the same time developing Armenia and strengthening our country economically”, the President said.
