    We suffer from our lazy foreign policy, Heritage party leader Raffi
    Hovhannisyan told the reporters today, referring to his recent visit
    to Baku.

    Upon his return from the Azerbaijani capital, the political figure
    stated that in case of other opportunity he will visit Baku again.

    Hovhannisyan said Armenia should be present everywhere and be able
    to voice its viewpoint. "National interests are not being defended
    in national isolation. My step was not a courageous deed, it was
    a common step that should always be done. We suffer from our lazy
    foreign policy that stems from our inner democratic stance," he said.

    The party's leader said the representatives of about 25 countries
    present at the event in Baku where listening to Armenia's viewpoint
    for the first time.

    "Till that they have many times listened to Azerbaijani rhetoric.

    After my speech many approached me, expressing their support. In
    Azerbaijan thousand people say one thing, here hundred things are
    being said. Every person has a right to have own opinion but national
    interest should also be taken into consideration. A whole state should
    pursue national interests and take the country out of the gap,"
    he said, adding that he would be happy to be a participant in the
    creation of de jure state.

    Raffi Hovhannissyan was in Baku November 21-23 to participate in the
    7th international conference of Asian political parties. On November
    23 he tried to deliver a speech but faced the hysterical response of
    the Azerbaijani delegates.
