Yerevan December 22

Mariana Mkrtchyan. Among the foreign policy priorities of Armenia in
2018 should be the development of relations with the Islamic world. On
December 22, in Yerevan, summing up the results of the year, stated
the head of the parliamentary commission on foreign affairs of the
National Assembly of Armenia Armen Ashotyan.

According to him, against the backdrop of Moscow-Yerevan relations,
Brussels-Yerevan, a very important challenge is escaping attention,
namely, the situation in the Middle East, which is at the side of
Armenia. "It seems to me that in 2018 we should pay serious attention
to the three directions in foreign policy, namely, deepening and
expanding relations with the Islamic world, increasing the recognition
of Armenia, which is very important in light of the dangerous efforts
that Azerbaijan is making to set up countries in the region against
Armenia As you know, this year the President of Armenia visited India,
an important country for us and a serious player in the Asian region.
In this regard, we need deepening and capitalization of relations with
the Asian world, "said Ashotyan.

And in this context, he added that the third direction is the
Armenian-American relations. According to him, new realities are
opening with the arrival of the new US president, and Armenia should
be vigilant for the development of relations with the states.
