dedicated to the EU Eastern Partnership Program in Sofia.

MP Evgeny Krilov, co-author of the famous Resolution 2216.
According to Vahan Hovhannisyan, attempts are being made to change
the balance in the Minsk Group." "This should be prevented. The
mandate of France in the Minsk Group should not be replaced by that
of the European Union. This is what our diplomatic efforts should be
targeted at," Vahan Hovhannisyan said.
Vahan Hovhannisian also pointed at the proposal to establish a Black
Sea Union with Russia and Turkey on the key positions. "We are aware
of historical examples of consequences of rapprochement between Russia
and Turkey," he said pointing that Armenian authorities should be
careful and refuse to participate in the Black Sea Union.
According to Vahan Hovhannisyan, the pressures on Armenia have
increased, and this is the fault of the authorities. He proposes two
solutions for the situation - to recall the protocols or listen to
the opposition (ARF Dashnaktsutyun).
