ARMENIAN PARLIAMENTARIAN CALLS ARMENIA’S DIPLOMATIC POSITION IN
SETTLEMENT ISSUE PASSIVE AND DEFENSIVE

The Head of the RA Parliament Constant Commission for Foreign
Relations, representative of the Supreme Body of ARF Dashnaktsutiun
party , Armen Rustamyan, calls Armenia’s diplomacy in the Karabakh
conflict settlement issue passive and defensive.

According to him, both diplomats and Parliamentarians have chosen the
passive line. Sometimes, at different forums, the RA Parliament
representatives orient themselves "by place" under absence of any
common concept on this problem.,m making ripostes to Azerbaijan,
while the latter claims the same at all international forums for many
years, i.e. about the occupied territories, millions of refugees and
so on. Much time has passed since the operations, the international
community is interested in the future not in the past, while
Azerbaijan accents just on them. Therefore, Armenia has to
sequentially achieve the international recognition of Nagorno
Karabakh by the international community, not by Azerbaijan.
