Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan participated today in the presentations
of the first Armenian Yearbook of International and Comparative Law,
the www.karabakhfacts.am information website and the annual
conference-discussions dedicated to the legal issues of foreign
policy.
Tigran Sargsyan welcomed the implementation of the above-mentioned
initiatives of the Center for International and Comparative Law and
attached importance to the conduct of studies on different issues from
legal point of view.
“This issue is more urgent for us, taking into consideration the
challenges our young state faces. It’s not only the Nagorno Karabakh
issue that should be solved from the perspective of comparative law,
as there are a number of other questions, as well. Among the important
issues is the effective use of water resources in light of the fact
that a considerable part of these resources comes from the territory
of present-day Turkey. The government of that country has made a
unilateral decision to allocate $20 mln to build basins on rivers,
which have great impact on the water resources of the AraratValley.
According to specialists, in a few years we’ll face problems connected
with irrigation in the Ararat Valley,” Tigran Sargsyan said.
The Prime Minister said that in this regard there are certain legal
bases that allow Armenia to defend its national interests. In
particular, it is necessary to reveal international conventions,
documents, which will allow to protect our interests in international
structures.
“The second issue in the domain of legal research is the construction
of a new nuclear power unit, where we should take into consideration
the remarks of the neighboring countries before launching the
construction works. Serious legal consultation is needed to avoid
problems with construction in the future,” Tigran Sargsyan stated.
