ARMENIA BUILDS ITS FOREIGN POLICY BY JUXTAPOSING INTERESTS OF FORCES INVOLVED IN REGION, PRESIDENT SARGSYAN SAYS
YEREVAN, September 25. / ARKA /. Armenia has always built its foreign
policy based on juxtaposition of the interests of forces involved in
the region and different systems rather than on creating dividing
lines, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said when delivering a
lecture at the University of Columbia in New York, United States,
Sargsyan's press office reported.
Sargsyan is in New York to attend the 69th session of the UN General
Assembly.
The president said Armenia and Russia are strategic partners, and the
Armenian-Russian treaty on mutual assistance, along with Armenia's
membership in the Collective Security Treaty Organization is one of
the pillars of Armenia's security.
He added that parallel to this, through cooperation with NATO Armenia
is contributing to international security and stability, both within
its individual plan of action as well as through participation in
peacekeeping missions.
According to him, Armenia attaches great importance to the continuous
development of friendly partnership with the United States.
"Today we are negotiating simplification of visa regime. We appreciate
the assistance provided to Armenia by the United States. Forty-two
states have recognized the Armenian Genocide, and in recent
years a number of states have recognized also the independence of
Nagorno-Karabakh and its people's right to live in freedom," he said.
According to Sargsyan, the strong Armenian community in the United
States is a driving force in the development of the Armenian-American
relations. -0-
