    The developments in the region in 2012 posed new challenges to
    Armenia, Kiro Manoyan, Head of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation
    Bureau's Hay Dat and Political Affairs Office, told a press conference
    today. In particular, he pointed to the events in Syria. He said the
    Armenian authorities are doing their best to defend the rights of
    Syrian Armenians.

    As for the Nagorno Karabakh issue, the analyst said there were no
    expectations even at the beginning of the year, and the process
    reached a deadlock as a result of the Azerbaijani-Hungarian deal.

    However, according to Manoyan, this does not mean we have nothing to
    do any more. "We must think about the international recognition of
    the Nagorno Karabakh Republic," he said.

    Speaking about Azerbaijan's position, Manoyan said it continued
    its anti-Armenian policy, trying to take some steps by bribing the
    international community.

    Referring to the Armenian-Turkish relations, Kiro Manoyan said no
    progress was registered in 2012 mostly because of Turkey.

    Nevertheless, he is concerned by the behavior of the Armenian
    authorities, who leave Turkey at the helm.

    According to Kiro Manoyan, the Armenia-EU talks are rapidly moving
    forward, as both Armenia and EU are interested in the process. The
    analyst says EU's interest is connected with the activeness of Russia
    on the Eurasian Union. The EU is trying to get closer to the states
    that could possibly join the Eurasian Union, he said.

    Manoyan said the Armenia-Iran relations also remained an important
    direction in 2012. Summing up the results of 2012, he said nothing
    extraordinary happened in the field of foreign policy.
