Gurgen Arsenyan: For Armenia, the peace agenda is a foreign policy priority
“As a result of the military conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan in autumn 2020, the status quo in the region has changed and a new configuration and a new line of tension has formed,” said Gurgen Arsenyan, a member of the Standing Committee on Foreign Relations of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia. He recalled that Russian peacekeepers arrived in the region in accordance with the trilateral statement. “They fulfilled their obligations under the trilateral statement in Nagorno-Karabakh.”
Gurgen Arsenyan said that Armenia’s political and military leadership takes efforts to resolve disputes or conflicts peacefully, and “with Russia’s active involvement, it seeks to work more effectively to establish peaceful and mutually beneficial relations with Azerbaijan and Turkey.”
Gurgen Arsenyan recalled that “recently Moscow hosted the first meeting between special envoys of Turkey and Armenia, which can be viewed as the beginning of a very important and useful work on mending the relations between the two neighbouring states. This process is a result of the implementation Government of the Republic of Armenia’s programme which prioritizes the peace agenda in its foreign policy.”
“Armenia continues to develop its military and political relations with Russia and the CSTO and EAEU member states,” said the representative of the Standing Committee on Foreign Relations of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia.
Gurgen Arsenyan praised the effectiveness of the CSTO peacekeeping operation in the Republic of Kazakhstan, stressing the swiftness of decision-making and execution of tasks. “I would like to take this opportunity to draw our attention to the fact that we, as parliamentarians, should develop a decision-making mechanism for a swift deployment of the military component, i.e. quickly create an opportunity to raise the efficiency of the decisions made,” noted Gurgen Arsenyan.
