ARMENIA MUST INTEGRATE WITH THE NATO MAINTAINING FRIENDLY RELATIONS
WITH RUSSIA

Yerevan, May 12. ArmInfo. ‘I do not think that my resignation will
influence external policy of Armenia. Moreover, I do not think that it
will spoil the Armenian-French relations,’ said on a press conference
at the National Assembly Arthur Bagdasarian, leader of the party at
the same time admitting that the opposition bloc possibly will not
welcome that.

Nr. Bagdasarian added that Orinats Yerkir has political contacts
abroad. He said that his party stands for Armenia’s integration with
the NATO and maintaining friendly relations with Russia. Integration
with Europe and the EU in particular is the only way for Armenia, he
said. The Speaker added that this position on foreign policy was one
of the causes of the breakdown of the alliance with Dashnaktsutiun and
the Republican parties.
