19:06 | March 21,2014 | Official
Serzh Sargsyan today visited the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of
Armenia. He toured the MFA building and held a consultation with the
senior officials of the Ministry.
The Foreign Minister, Deputy FMs and the MFA Secretary General
presented reports on the situation in their agencies. Foreign Minister
Edward Nalbandian presented the Ministry's activities since 2008,
and its actions towards the fulfillment of the tasks that are set
before the Ministry.
Serzh Sargsyan posed questions to the reporters, presented his comments
and observations and gave relevant instructions. He then spoke about
the Ministry's priorities and course of actions and answered the
questions of participants referring the country's foreign policy and
security, economy, regional issues and the situation in Crimea.
When asked about Armenia's foreign policy, the country's leader
highlighted the results of the implemented work.
"The question is whether we have been able to increase our security
guarantee in a year or not. Each of us, as a government official,
has duties of his own. My duty is to ensure the country's territorial
integrity and security, so I am responsible for it. Everything has
to be evaluated based on the results. I find that with the level
of our international relations, our involvement and the type and
quality of partners, we are more secure now than we were five years
ago. Never has our army been so well-equipped and efficient as it is
today. Never before has there been such unanimity over Karabakh. We
have one character, one very important feature; we never try to cheat
or mislead anyone; we say, this is our interest, so we are ready or
not ready to do this here and now," said Serzh Sargsyan.
At the end of the consultation, a group of MFA representatives were
encouraged for their conscientious and productive work and awarded
with the certificates of appreciation.
