Vahan Dilanyan: In 2010 Serzh Sargsyan strengthened the international view of Armenia’s being a trustworthy and stable partner

YEREVAN, DECEMBER 28, ARMENPRESS: In 2010 Serzh Sargsyan managed to bring clarity to Armenia’s foreign policy. The President strengthened the international view of Armenia’s being a trustworthy and stable partner, Chairman of the Political Developments Research Centre Vahan Dilanyan told Armenpress, adding that the inner-political stability strengthened last year brought an additional support to the foreign political field. “Armenia showed the world that its constructive and reserved behavior can also be stable-attacking and rough.

This was expressed both in the Artsakh issue and in regulation of Armenian-Turkish relations. The very important decision of Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan on suspending the ratification of Armenian-Turkish protocols and simultaneously not standing back from the regulation process is especially noteworthy, which was really highly appreciated by corresponding international institutions involved in the process,” he said, also highlighting Armenian President’s speech on judicial recognition of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic.

“It was an impetus to the OSCE with new quality to ponder over the own decision of not condemning the aggressive and war-inclined behavior of Azerbaijan and to the Azerbaijan to reconsider the own uncompromising position,” the political specialist said. Mr. Dilanyan expressed hope that the qualitatively new edgings of Armenia’s foreign policy outlined this year will smoothly develop next year.

“Stable-attacking and rough manner of behavior should be developed in foreign policy 2011, for this is the demand of the foreign and home political challenges our country faces, ” the Chairman of Political Developments Research Centre said.
