Yerevan, 26 May: Only democratic Russia can be Armenia’s strategic
partner, the leader of the Self-Determination Association Party
[SDAP], Paruyr Ayrikyan, said at the 25th congress of the party. The
congress was timed to coincided with the 40th anniversary of the party
and the 15th anniversary of Armenia’s independence.

Ayrikyan said that the current level of Armenian-Russian relations
testified that for Russia Armenia is only small change which can again
be sacrificed to Russian-Turkish or other relations.

Speaking about the settlement of the Nagornyy Karabakh conflict,
Ayrikyan called on the leadership of the country to radically change
its attitude to the issue of the self-determination of the people of
Nagornyy Karabakh. He said that Armenia should quit the negotiation
process and be only a guarantor of security of Nagornyy Karabakh.

[Passage omitted: Ayrikyan praised the law on dual citizenship adopted
in the last year referendum on constitutional amendments]
