S. SARGSYAN RECEIVES GERMAN MARSHALL FUND AND ROBERT BOSCH STIFTUNG MEMBERS
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan received today representatives
of German Marshall Fund and the Robert Bosch Stiftung Foundation,
according to the presidential press service.
The president thanked the two organizations for holding discussions
in such a format. He stressed the importance of such traditional
meetings with heads of state, noting that they provide an opportunity
to communicate directly with academic and analytical circles.
Noting that the German Marshall Fund aims to promote international
peace, security, stability, democracy, economic development and
people's welfare, S. Sargsyan said Armenia attaches great importance to
one of the Fund's mission, which is to confront the global challenges
by joint efforts, especially as Armenian foreign policy lays emphasis
on the call to the international community for tolerance and unity.
Unity is especially important this year when the Armenian Genocide
Centennial is commemorated. The president said that genocides as
gravest crimes against humanity take place or are repeated when the
international community fails to take a common position.
Serzh Sargsyan informed the meeting participants about the significance
of the commemorative events on the 100th anniversary of the Armenian
Genocide in Armenia and abroad. He also spoke about the priorities of
Armenia's foreign policy, the Karabakh conflict settlement process,
Armenia-Turkey relations, and regional problems and challenges. He
then responded to questions of the guests.
