Diaspora's contribution to strengthening Armenia's independence.
Reflecting on Armenia's foreign policy, Nazaryan noted that genocide

states is essential toward resolving these issues.
Ambassador Nazaryan added that at the UN Armenia is actively involved
in the discussion of social, economic, and stable development matters,
