YEREVAN, JANUARY 16, NOYAN TAPAN. Putting of the problem of the
international recognition of the Armenian Genocide in the basis of
the foreign policy of Armenia damages interests of Armenia. Davit
Shahnazarian, a member of the Armenian National Movement (ANM)
party board expressed such an opinion at the January 15 press
conference. In his words, the present authorities of Armenia are
not able with such a diplomacy to carry out policy arising of the
people's interests. D.Shahnazarian mentioned that during the European
Union-Turkey negotiations a favourable period for building relations
with Turkey was created, which was not used in the right way by the
Armenian authorities.
In D.Shahnazarian's words, because of wrong foreign policy, Armenia
has remained already for few months without a U.S. Ambassador, more,
it became a factor of instability in the region. He also emphasized
that efforts of the present administration in the direction of opening
of the border with Turkey are not enough.
Touching upon the Karabakh problem, D.Shahnazarian mentioned that the
phasal variant proposed still during the years of the ANM power is
put into circulation today. According to this variant the Nagorno
Karabakh status issue will be decided in the last stage. But, in
words of the ANM board member, R.Kocharian and I.Aliyev attempt to
delay the issue settlement. According to D.Shahnazarian's prevision,
if "these authoritarian orders" are kept in Armenia and Azerbaijan,
a war will start between the two countries.
