YEREVAN, JANUARY 25, NOYAN TAPAN. Artur Baghdasarian, a candidate for
presidency, the leader of the Orinats Yerkir (Country of Law) party,
considers membership to the European Union the most important goal of
RA in the sphere of foreign policy. Gurgen Sargsian, a member of the
OYP parliamentary faction, said this at the January 25 discussion,
presenting the OYP candidate's provisions of preelection program
regarding foreign policy. In his words, the fulfilment of the
provisions ratified by Armenia is very important on the way of
European integration.
Besides, as he mentioned, the OYP candidate also attaches importance
to deepening of cooperation with NATO. "The relations with Russia
should be built by the principle of equality of rights and mutual
profitableness and with the U.S. by the principle of friendship and
partnership," G. Sargsian said.
The OYP representative declared that the foreign policy carried on
today is deprived of any initiatives: Armenia only registers the
events happening in the world and does nothing. In that respect, as
G. Sargsian added, a doctrine of international policy should be worked
out, which will outline the main foreign directions of the country.
