Ruling political parties of Armenia have a number of commonalities in
their way of thinking and ideas over the foreign policy. This viewpoint
was in the core of the discussion over the topic of "The Foreign
Political Agenda of the Parties", summoned November 25 in Yerevan.
Member of NA RPA faction Artak Zakaryan noted the foreign policy of
Armenia is aimed at preservation of balance and peaceful coexistence,
as well as at involving foreign political, economic and social
resources for solution of home issues, and reinforced organization
of the issues of own foreign security provision.
In foreign policy the parliamentarian attached importance to peaceful
regulation process of Artsakh conflict, and to the prospects of
regional development. He also singled out the peaceful settlement
process of Armenian-Turkish relations and the deepening of the
European integration.
In response to the question which one should be a prospective
direction for Armenia - the North or the East, the parliamentarian
said that Armenia has not assumed a uni-vector policy, and has never
contradicted the political vectors in foreign policy, as international
politics is very complicated and multi-vectoral. Armenia has also
registered a number of successes: we have managed to maintain the
peace, the format of Minsk Group activity, the thing that NKR and RA
are perceived as parties in the negotiation process.
ANC representative Vladimir Karapeyan expressed an opinion that one of
the keystones of our country's foreign policy is the Armenian-Turkish
relations and NK conflict settlement issue.
ARF member Kiro Manoyan also attached importance to Javakhkh issue. In
Armenian-Turkish relations the position of ARF essentially differs
from the viewpoint of other political forces.
As a result of the discussion, it became clear that the parties
expressing different viewpoints have two common troublesome issues -
NK conflict and Armenian Genocide recognition issue.
