/PanARMENIAN.Net/ `I do not agree about categorizing Armenian-Russian
relations being in a state of “divorce”. Armenia’s strategic partnership
with Russia and cooperation with NATO are aimed at securing Armenia’s
national security’, Kiro Manoyan, Director of Armenian Revolutionary
Federation (ARF) Bureau’s Hay Dat and Political Affairs Office stated during
online interview initiated by OpenArmenia.com and PanARMENIAN.Net. `Although
Genocide recognition by Turkey is a national security issue for Armenia, I
don’t think getting closer with NATO will necessarily help gain recognition
of the genocide by Turkey’, he added.
