ArmInfo. ARF Dashnaktsutyun party requires resignation of Armenia’s
Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan for elimination of the negative
phenomena, observed in the country’s foreign policy, and establishment
of a national state vector, representative of ARFD Supreme Body,
parliamentarian Armen Rustamyan said at today’s press-conference in
Urbat club.
According to him, in view of the situation developed around the
Karabakh conflict settlement, ARFD Supreme Body came out with the
following statement: ‘Turkey and Azerbaijan try to weaken Armenia’s
positions in the international arena in order to make the region
a zone of its influence. The economic and political weights of
Azerbaijan gradually increases. The only way out in this situation is
our consolidation. We note again that the foreign policy of Armenia
deviated from the basic provisions of the Military Doctrine and the
National Security Strategy’.
The statement also says that the process, hindering international
recognition of the Armenian Genocide, is going on. There is no relevant
fight against the consistent anti- Armenian actions by Azerbaijan and
Turkey. The activity of Armenia’s Foreign Ministry in the internal
and external propaganda remains unsatisfactory. The attempt of OSCE
MG co-chair-countries to forcedly achieve efficient settlement of
the Karabakh conflict endanger our national and state interests. In
the created situation, ARFD Supreme Body requires political will and
foresight from the Armenian and Karabakh authorities.
The party expresses hope that the president of Armenia will not sign
any document that ignores the Karabakh people’s will, having been
already expressed via referendum. ‘We expect for the president to take
the required measures to return the NKR to the negotiation process’,
the statement says.
ARFD representatives also say it is necessary to reconsider the
foreign policy of Armenia and open a new page while the going is good.
