DEMONIZATION OF RUSSIA WILL NOT LEAD TO ANYTHING GOOD: ARTASHES GEGHAMYAN

10:56, 11 March, 2015

YEREVAN, MARCH 11, ARMENPRESS. The Head of the Armenian Delegation
to the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, MP of the Republican Party of
Armenia of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia Artashes
Geghamyan responded the questions of “Armenpress” News Agency.

– Mr Geghamyan, to which extent did the delegation succeed to be
heard on those matters, which are of principle significance for the
formation of the governing bodies of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly.

– Very interesting question. For being heard in such an authoritative
organization, it isn’t only required consistently work during the
OSCE PA conferences, but that is not less important, as well as in the
period between conferences. For instance, during the OSCE Parliamentary
Assembly in Istanbul (2013), the heads of all the delegations of the
conference received the book by Artashes Geghamyan “Tough Road to
Istanbul”, translated into all working languages of the OSCE.

Before the conference of OSCE, the delegates had opportunity to
get acquainted with another book, entitled “Artashes Geghamyan:
The Alternative of Armenia’s Accession to Eurasian Union is War.”

Those books allowed to introduce the Republic of Armenia’s foreign
policy actual issues to the delegations of 56 member-states of the
OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, which relies on the fundamental principles
of the Helsinki Final Act.

Such a respectful attitude towards the OSCE PA partners mainly is
mutual. And under these conditions the audience is very attentive
toward your speeches. (THE FULL VERSION OF INTERVIEW IS AVAILABLE
