ARMENIAN FOREIGN MINISTER NALBANDIAN DISCUSSED AZERBAIJAN'S STATEMENTS IN JAPAN
Tert.am
13:37 ~U 27.11.09
In Tokyo for an official visit yesterday, Armenian Foreign Minister
Edward Nalbandian met with Crown Prince Naruhito, heir apparent to
the Japanese throne, reports the RA Ministry of Foreign Affairs press
and information department.
Nalbandian asked Naruhito to pass on RA President Serzh Sargsyan's
greetings and well-wishes to Emperor Akihito and noted Armenia's wish
to strengthen and develop relations with Japan.
During the second half of the day, Nalbandian made a detailed speech
about Armenia's foreign policy at the Japan Institute of International
Affairs. During the speech, responding to questions directed at him,
the Armenian foreign minister discussed Armenia-Japan relations
and Armenia's initiatives directed toward the development of these
relations, as well as discussing efforts toward establishing peace
and stability in the Caucasus.
Asked about the continuous bellicose statements made by Azerbaijan,
Nalbandian said, "Perhaps those [statements] are made with the
expectation of applying pressure, naturally, that cannot impress
neither Armenia nor Karabakh. Those attempts leave a flat-out negative
impression about Azerbaijan on the international community."
Before his speech, Nalbandian met with the institute's President
and Director-General, Ambassador Yoshiji Nogami, during which time
issues related to the RA Ministry of Foreign Affairs diplomatic
school and cooperation with the Japan Institute of International
Affairs was discussed.
