Armenia should cooperate with both the European Union and NATO,
however, not on the account of deteriorating the relations with our
strategic partner in Russia's face. The announcement was made by
leader of the Armenian Democratic Party, Member of Parliament Aram
Sarkisyan on October 21.
According to him, at present time Armenia has the top priority
task, which is securing the national safety, and "we have no right
of implementing a policy that can put under threat the republic's
safety." It is necessary to comprehend today that Armenia is not
awaited either in the EU or in NATO, the Democratic Party leader
stressed. Moreover, Sarkisyan notes, recent statements made by
Georgia's President Mikhail Saakashvili concerning intention of
Georgia to cooperate with Russia mean that "the West will never go
against Russia because of the republics like Georgia or Armenia."
Speaking on recent statements by some Russian politicians concerning
the fact that "Armenia should decide in what security system its place
is," he reminded that first claim to "decide" was mentioned by NATO
representatives. Generally, according to the Democratic Party leader,
such policy of "blackmailing" held towards Armenia was result of the
complementary behavior of the current authorities.
