The Armenian foreign minister Vardan Oskanyan declined to comment
on the Georgian presidential election and compare it to the upcoming
presidential election in Armenia in a news conference on January 9.
He said he did not want to compare because for him the election
process in Armenia is important.
The minister only touched upon the wish of Georgia to enter NATO and
its likely consequences for the regional developments, namely the
prospects of cooperation between Armenia and the Collective Security
Pact Organization.
Vardan Oskanyan noted that if one of the South Caucasian states
is inclined for one international security system or another, it
is important to prevent the emergence of a demarcation line in the
region. The foreign minister of Armenia noted that every country which
is inclined for one organization or another is naturally concerned
about their security but at the same time Vardan Oskanyan thinks the
countries of the region should also worry about the general security
of the region.
