    Vardan Oskanian: The activity of GUAM hampers Armenia's development

    [ 01 Dec. 2006 16:58 ]

    `Yerevan has no intention to join the organization. We do not even
    discuss the issue. The GUAM advocates an ideology that conflicts with
    Armenia's policy. The activities of this organization hamper
    Armenia's development,' Armenian Foreign Minister told to the
    journalists in the press conference held in Yerevan, APA reports
    quoting to Panarmenian agency.

    When commenting on the referendum to be held in occupied Azerbaijani
    territories, Oskanian said that the people of Nagorno Karabakh are
    free to choose their way themselves.
    `This does not conflict with two principles of international law -
    the principle of territorial integrity and the right of nations to
    self-determination. The main outcome of the referendum will be not
    its recognition by the international community but the expression of
    will of the Karabakhi people. The international community may not
    recognize the referendum outcomes but at the same time it cannot
    neglect the will of the people,' Minister Oskanian said.
    Oskanian also stated that he will raise an issue concerning the
    destruction of Armenian cross-monuments in Nakhchivan during his
    meeting with PACE Secretary General Terri Davis to be held in
    Strasbourg. He said that Armenia is ready to receive the mission on
    protection of historical monuments and to provide them with necessary
    documents. /APA/
