/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia's National Security strategy is a solid and
good document, said Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian to a
news conference in Yerevan. In his words, the strategy is completely
public and open for examination. "It is based on up till now realized
principles and I think the strategy will guide all of us in our future
work," said Oskanian adding that there is no document, which has
been discussed so publicly in Armenia. "Already several months active
discussions are being carried out, the Defense Minister had meetings
with all interested persons, including journalists," said Oskanian.
Speaking on Armenian-Georgian relations in the given contexts, the
Foreign Minister underlined that Tbilisi is a very crucial partner
for Yerevan and it is necessary to build accurate relations with
Georgia. In concern of Russia's participation in Iran-Armenia
gas pipeline, Oskanian stressed that ArmRosGazprom deals with
gas on the territory of Armenia and the second consortium is just
needless. Continuing the subject of Armenian-Russian relations on
the light of Individual Partnership Action Plan (IPAP) with NATO,
the Foreign Minister said that Armenia's participation in CSTO does
not contradict the Armenia-NATO cooperation.
"They supplement each other, and this is the main point of our
complementary policy," underscored Oskanian.
