YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 6, ARMENPRESS: Armenian Minister of Foreign Affairs
Edward Nalbandian has commented on observations of Polish Ambassador
to Armenia ZdzisÅ~Baw Rachinski concerning internal political situation
of Armenia during February 6 answer-question in National Assembly.
"Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan has also responded to
the comments of Polish Ambassador and has for sure expressed opinion
of Foreign Minister and Ministry. I think such commentaries are not
correct from any Ambassador. Ambassador of each country should know
diplomatic rules," Armenpress reports this was noted by Minister,
adding that he also used to be an ambassador and thus knows about
the existence of diplomatic ethics.
Minister opposed to the question on this, noting "Is it acceptable to
say that Armenian officials have no sense of statehood?" Nalbandian
doesn't think that any diplomat, especially ambassador, should use such
assumptions or statements. "He allowed himself not only statements
but also such formulations which are not correct for a diplomat,"
Nalbandian noted.
Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Armenia Shavarsh
Kocharyan answered on the question of "Armenpress" regarding the
statements of the Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of
Poland to the Republic of Armenia Zdzislaw Raczynski concerning the
internal political life of Armenia publicized in an interview to a
local newspaper.
Question: In an interview to a local newspaper Ambassador of Poland
to Armenia Zdzislaw Raczynski stated that the age-old dream of the
Armenian people of having a secure and safe Armenia is a collapsing
myth and he also had made not so appropriate deductions regarding
the electoral process. How would You comment on that?
Answer: Each diplomat and an ambassador in particular should never
cross the limits of diplomatic ethics while making statements regarding
the inside and foreign policy and processes in the country of his
accreditation, as it can cast shadow on that very ambassador, as on
a man, who is responsible for the mission of development of amicable
relations between the two countries.
