PRESIDENT SARGSYAN CALLS FOR ACTIVE ENGAGEMENT OF DIPLOMATS ON ISSUES CONCERNING ARMENIAN INTERESTS
News | 02.06.14 | 21:26
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan on Monday urged top diplomats of
the country to be "actively engaged" wherever Armenian interests
are affected.
At a meeting with senior Foreign Ministry officials and heads of
Armenian diplomatic missions abroad held at the Karen Demirchyan Sport
and Concert Complex Sargsyan addressed a wide range of issues of the
current agenda - from the Karabakh conflict settlement, the approaching
centenary of the Armenian Genocide, Armenian-Turkish relations and
the Syrian crisis to the process of Armenia's accession to the Customs
and Eurasian Economic Unions and cooperation with the European Union.
"We should state with regret that serious tendencies towards
instability are being observed in the international situation.
Tensions and uncertainty grow. It prompts continuous improvement of the
activities of our diplomatic representations, the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs and other departments, the strengthening of interdepartmental
interaction," said President Sargsyan, as quoted by his press service.
"A diplomat should be able to properly explore, analyze and evaluate
the situation, predict the trends of development and offer solutions
meeting national interests. We often note that the most important
potential is human capital. So a diplomat who assumes a wait-and-see
position and reacts only to cases, a diplomat avoiding work is a
liability for a state like ours. We expect you to actively engage
wherever, directly or indirectly, the interests of Armenia and
Armenians are affected," the Armenian head of state concluded.
