A Turkish delegation of intellectuals and women's NGO representatives Thursday visited National Assembly. The delegation is in Armenia within the frames of "Urban" foundation's "Eurointegration and Gender Problems" project.

The guests were received by women MPs to discuss questions concerning Armenia's national programs on gender issues and the country's policy aimed at enhancing euro-integration process.

Sharing his impressions, Bosfor University scholar Demir Raime Bulut said that his studies helped him reveal that Armenians in Turkey played essential role in their country's life.

She also expressed hope that the country would be bold enough to acknowledge the historical truth "to the benefit of both states".
