Khosrov Harutunyan, candidate in election community 10, told Urbat
Club that Armenia cannot ensure its long-term and safe development by
developing relations with only one country, no matter how friendly
those relations may be. Harutunyan obviously meant relations with
Russia. The candidate said being a landlocked country, Armenia
may secure its future only within a union where single members
will not have the opportunity to influence the country. Therefore,
integration and even membership to EU is a priority for Armenia,
the candidate said. The speaker did not exclude the importance of
developing bilateral relations, too, including with Russia and USA.
