On October 18, RA NA Speaker Alen Simonyan received the congressional delegation led by David Price, chairman of the Democratic Partnership Committee (DPP) of the US House of Representatives. After the exchange of greetings, the parties discussed the consequences of the aggression of the Azerbaijani armed forces on September 13. RA NA Speaker noted. "Even though on the evening of September 14, a fragile cease-fire agreement was reached through the mediation of the United States, nevertheless, after that, the Azerbaijani side continues to violate the cease-fire regime regularly." He expressed gratitude to the US authorities, including many members of Congress, for accurately assessing the latest developments and for the 17 prisoners of war who recently returned to Armenia through the mediation of the United States. The parties referred to the Azerbaijani armed forces invading the territory of Armenia and Azerbaijan-Turkey expansionist ambitions.

The American side considered the Azerbaijani encroachments against the territorial integrity of the Republic of Armenia inadmissible.

The Speaker of the RA National Assembly highly appreciated the Armenia-US cooperation at all levels. He emphasized the importance of the delegation's official visit led by the speaker of the US House of Representatives, Nancy Pelosi, in the most challenging period for our country.

Inter-parliamentary dialogue and parliamentary diplomacy were discussed at the meeting. According to Alen Simonyan, the RA National Assembly membership in the Congress's bipartisan "House Democracy Partnership" committee is very important. He emphasized that this visit is of the utmost importance for the continuation of this format of cooperation.

The Armenian side also highly appreciated the work of the Committee on Armenian Affairs of the House of Representatives, including the programs to support Armenia, humanitarian aid to Artsakh, trade initiatives, the process of peaceful settlement of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict and the recognition of the Armenian Genocide.

Legislative-executive relations, issues related to the parliamentary opposition, and decision-making mechanisms were discussed at the meeting.
