ARMENIA HAS TO PURSUE FLEXIBLE AND CAUTIOUS FOREIGN POLICY - PREMIER
YEREVAN, October 13./ARKA/. Armenia has to follow a flexible and
cautious foreign policy, Armenian premier Hovik Abrahamyan said at
his meeting with the Armenian community in Washington.
The Karabakh problem has not been solved yet, he said.
"Azerbaijan is pursuing a militaristic policy, having launched an
arms race using its petrodollars. Turkey has taken an extremely
biased stance and blockaded Armenia", the premier said as quoted by
the government press office.
"All these factors make us be flexible and cautious in our foreign
policy. The Republic of Armenia is committed to a peaceful settlement
of the Kaparabakh problem, but is ready to give a Roland for an Oliver
if a war is imposed, to protect the Armenian people and its borders",
Abrahamyan said.
The premier also said Armenia's government is doing its best to solve
problems faced by compatriots living in Syria and Iraq.
In speaking about the measures to observe the centennial of the
Armenian Genocide in 2015, Abrahamyan said the country will continue
its consolidated efforts to reach a worldwide acknowledgment and
condemnation of the genocide.
"Our stance is simple: a crime against the Armenian people is a crime
against humanity", he said adding condemnation is the best way to
prevent future genocides.
Abrahamyan emphasized Armenian-American relations are rapidly
developing and stressed the role of the diaspora in it.
Today deepening of the economic ties is a priority, he said.
The premier praised the role of the US Armenian community in protection
of interests of Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh.
"Today we offer the community members to establish partnership and are
ready to provide them with an opportunity of making investments. We
are creating systems that allow them to run a profitable business in
the homeland. The government of Armenia provides such guarantees",
the premier said.
The modern times show challenges can be overcome only through joint
efforts of Armenia, Artsakh and the Diaspora, the premier said. -0--
