/PanARMENIAN.Net/ RA National Security Council discussed three
issues which are priorities in their work, Arthur Baghdasaryan,
secretary of the National Security Council of Armenia, told a press
conference today.

According to him, a tangible progress can be observed
in the negotiations over the settlement of the Nagorno
Karabakh. Mr. Baghdasaryan highlighted the fact that Armenia has been
able to insist on its three principles: Nagorno Karabakh can’t have a
lower status than now, Armenia should have a common land border with
Nagorno Karabakh and security guarantees for the people and the state
of NKR. "At this point there is no point that would cause anxiety in
the negotiations," Ð~r. Bagdasaryan said.

Mr. Bagdasaryan also emphasized that a struggle with drug addiction
in Armenia is important at the moment. "Jointly with EU we have
developed a program including 9 directions of work ranging from
preventive measures to treatment," Bagdasaryan said, noting that in
the framework of the fight against drug use 87 events will be held
in Armenia between 2009 and 2012.
