LEAGUE OF ARAB STATES’ POSITION ON KARABAKH ISSUE VERY IMPORTANT FOR
ARMENIA: ARMENIA’S FM

YEREVAN, JANUARY 22. ARMINFO. The signing of a mutual understanding
and cooperation memorandum by Armenia’s Foreign Ministry and the
General Secretariat of the League of Arab States is really a historic
event, says Armenia’s FM Vardan Oskanyan.

He says that this is a ground for the further deepening of bilateral
relations. This event reflects the centuries-long friendship of the
armenian and Arab nations and “now we have managed to institutionalize
our relations with not only individual Arab states but also their
alliance.”

The Arab world is very important for Armenia. Armenia has communities
there. It recently showed small participation in Iraq. It has its own
stance on Palestine and is contributing to statehood formation
there. “We give high importance to the Arab states’ position on the
Karabakh issue, we cooperate with them at international
organizations.” “So the memorandum will allow us to work more
effectively and to help each other through cooperation,” says
Oskanyan.
