E. Nalbandian `MFA always needs improvements'
Yesterday in the interview given to the Armenian Public TV the RA
Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian touched upon the normalization
process of the Armenian ` Turkish relations, the growth of the amount
of the work concerning the negotiations held on the Karabakh issue by
the Armenian MFA and the problem of having changes in the structure of
the MFA. On this concern he has mentioned:
`As for the amount of work I think in the previous round too the
foreign ministry was overloaded not less than today. Every round has
its challenges and problems.
That's right last year we were filled with diplomatic work especially
with the negotiations of the Armenian ` Turkish relations
normalization and the NKR conflict settlement talks. 9 meetings were
held last year of which 6 were by the mediation of the three
co-chairs, and the other three by the mediation of the Russian
president. Armenia chaired to important international organizations,
CSTO and Black Sea Economic Cooperation Organization. There have been
realized a big number of exchange visits and there were established
new kind of defelopment of relations with some countries.
You are right the Foreign Ministry just as the other institutes always
needs improvements. A few weeks ago the Government took a decision on
making structural changes in the Foreign Ministry. We have also
foreseen some changes in the law about the diplomatic service.
Regardless the economic crises we are tended to open new embassies in
some countries. We established a diplomatic Academy. All these
projects and activities were implemented due to support of the RA
President regardless the difficulties.'
