The new Director of the Armenian Center for National and International
Studies, Richard Giragosian, assured today that the center will carry
out unbiased research. Reports on political, economic and strategic
issues will be published and seminars will be organized. The most
important word that Richard Giragosian emphasized was "impartiality."
Reporters asked the new director of the impartial center to assess
the decision of Rafii Hovhannisyan, the only representative of the
opposition at the Armenian delegation to PACE, not to participate in
the sittings of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe.
"I'm not well familiar with the issue, because you should ask Raffi
Hovhannisyan about his steps. As an analyst I should say that PACE is
not the most important arena. For me, the troubles existing in Armenia
have to do with interests outside Armenia, not only the interests of
the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe, but also those
of Russia, the United States and Turkey," Richard Giragosian said.
