"Armenian governance would be more efficient if manages simultaneously
spiritual, state and economic fields," Vahan Shirkanyan, Former Deputy
Defense Minister stated at "Justice as military security guarantee"
round-table conference. According to him these three spheres joined
and formed state-corporation in Armenia.

"From the very beginning, Armenian diplomacy and authorities should
have linked the conflict settlement with liberation struggle and its
results. Armenia is yet to recall the conflict cause and progress
the negotiations. Any confrontation can be resolved if you consider
its reasons and consequences. In case if negotiations are given clear
direction, the outcome is evident," Shirkhanyan said. He is confident
Armenians should unite, activate Genocide recognition process and
revive Armenian-Russian trust relationship.

He hopes if Armenian-Azerbaijani war breaks out, Russia will support
Armenia. "I am confident Armenia can struggle against Azerbaijan and
win," Shirkhanyan concluded.
