interests of Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh, the head of Orinats Yerkir
parliamentary faction Heghine Biasharian stated during a briefing in
the Armenian parliament today.
"The interests of the two states should not be separated. First of
all, the security issue should be taken into account and then we can
talk about the economic bloc," she said.
H. Bisharian expressed hope that the Armenian authorities will show
flexibility and Armenia's relationship with Russia will not impede
its contacts with the European Union. She at the same time expressed
confidence that Armenia-EU relations will remain at the same level

As regards the protests staged in Armenia in connection with the
decision about entry into the Customs Union, Heghine Bisharian said

are in favor of closer ties with Russia.
In her words, almost every Armenian family has relatives or friends
in Russia. Therefore all Armenians want their compatriots to feel at
