Armenian Association of the European Centre on the security issues
survey after Gorge Marshal organized a seminar-discussion on the theme
"Peacekeeping and peace centre in South Caucasus" in "Congress" hotel.
The participants welcomed the idea and attached great importance to
such initiative as they see it a perfect chance to contemplate over
the issues and exchange thoughts concerning them.
While addressing the opening ceremony deputy Minister of the RA
Foreign Ministry Arman Kirakosyan noted that the conflict settlement
has always been imperative in Armenia. "Armenia is also involved
in the conflict settlement with its modest means and will go on its
peacekeeping mission. We assume that the duty of each country which
is a member of international relations is to take all the possible
measures in this context."
John Evans, US Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Armenia
noted that 16 graduates of the centre have become Defense ministers,
21 - other ministers or deputy ministers, 22 - ambassadors etc.
He claims that they are all in good relations with each other. "I
would rather say it is a kind of mafia in Europe and in Asia," adds
the Ambassador. By the way, while speaking of the Armenian 46 snappers
working in Iran the US Ambassador resumed, "Their functions don't go
in line with the liabilities and duties of peacekeeper," and added
"Armenian decided to enlarge the battalion and the USA is ready to
render assistance on this score."
