ARKA

YEREVAN, February 10. /ARKA/. Armenia's Government will approve the
country's foreign policy concept by March 15, RA Foreign Minister
Edward Nalbandyan said today, reporting back to the RA Government.
"This is a rather complicated document, but we are to draw it up on
a tight timetable," he added.
Touching upon the ministry's activities in 2008, Nalbandyan pointed
out dozens of government decisions, with some of them remaining on
paper. The government postponed amendments to the Law on Diplomatic
Service and the RA Land Code to 2009, the minister added.
The RA Foreign Ministry last year asked foreign diplomatic missions
to support Armenia revising those laws, particularly the Law on
diplomatic Service.
In his turn, RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan stressed the need for
adopting a single document for Armenian officials and delegations
participating in international conferences and workshops on the
Karabakh conflict.
"Since we often send our officials on missions, they need a document
about our official stand on basic issues," Nalbandyan said, adding
a similar document on the Karabakh conflict and other international
issues has been forwarded to all agencies.
