YEREVAN, APRIL 12, NOYAN TAPAN. The main goal of the Shanghai
Club functioning in Yerevan is to form a public opinion about
the necessity of deepening the Armenian-Chinese relations. Aram
Sargsian, the Chairman of the Democratic Party of Armenia (DPA), a
founding member of the club stated about it in the interview to Noyan
Tapan. In his words, their final goal is involvement of Armenia in
the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO). In A. Sargsian’s opinion,
film director Tigran Khzmalian, Chairman of the "Hayrenik and Pativ"
(Fatherland and Honour) party Garnik Margarian, former Deputy Prime
Minister, former RA Deputy Minister of Defence Vahan Shirkhanian are
among the club members.
The DPA leader mentioned that after psychologically preparing the
Armenian society, the RA National Assembly will make a decision to
join the SCO, but it will be in the case if the DPA and forces which
are of the same opinion with it in the mentioned issue will make the
parliamentary majority.
In A. Sargsian’s opinion, China will day by day have greater role
in the geopolitical developments. At the same time, in his words,
China strives for having good-neighborly relations with Armenia. So,
in A. Sargsian’s opinion, there are all preconditions to move the
relations with that country to a higher field.
