Foreign Minister Edvard Nalbandyan has said that Armenian foreign
policy may be adjusted in connection with the South Ossetia events.
Speaking at the National Assembly on 10 September, the foreign
minister said that considering the changed situation in South Ossetia,
a breakaway region of Georgia, some aspects of the current foreign
policy may be changed, Arminfo said. No details of the possible
changes were reported.
On Turkey’s initiative concerning the creation of the Caucasus platform
of stability and security, Nalbandyan said that Armenia has received
a preliminary document in this regard. The document’s main principles
are establishing trust, stability, security and cooperation in the
region, he said.
"Naturally, Armenia has a positive view on all these
principles. However, we must have a substantial discussion on Turkey’s
proposals and on ways of implementing them," Arminfo quoted the
minister as saying.
