15:53 * 15.07.14
Head of the Armenian-British parliamentary friendship group,
Heritage parliamentary group member Tevan Poghosyan told reporters
on Tuesday that Armenia considers its national interests in voting
on each document.
He thus answered a journalist's question as to why Great Britain should
help Armenia to oppose Turkey's Armenian Genocide denial policy of
while Armenia always votes for decisions in Russia's favor at the UN
Security Council.
"The European Parliament delegation raised a similar question at a
round table discussion. The answer was that Armenia cannot vote for
a document indicating the territorial integrity principle alone as
international right," Poghosyan said.
Asked about to Great Britain's oil interests in Azerbaijan and what
Armenia could offer to Great Britain, Poghosyan said:
"At one time, Great Britain was much interested, but they are now
going to develop relations based on agreements."
Armenia has its own resources - gold, precious stones, human resources
- which can be of interest to British educational centers.
"We must never underestimate our resources. On some occasions Great
Britain asked Armenia to vote on some issues. And if you do that,
you can ask for their help in other areas."
