Armenia will soon open an Embassy in Moldova. The Government approved the corresponding draft decree of the President during the Cabinet meeting. “The Moldovan side has officially agreed on opening an Armenian Embassy in Chișinău,” Deputy FM Shavarsh Kocharyan said.
“Have we limited us in relating to EU in doing trade, socializing, making investments, by membership to EEU?—of course, not. In other Government actions plans the EU is on the same place. Moreover, we rather openly talked to our EU partners, who also expressed such a concern.”
In reply Armenian Premier Karen Karapetyan said, “I’m not sure that the deal will be concluded very soon, however, even in case of the deal I don’t observe a risk. As a 25% shareholder of the pipeline providing transit, we don’t observe any risk, that the Georgian side will behave not in accordance with the agreement.”
“And we’ve also called for a full and frank acknowledgement of the facts of what happened around those deaths. And that remains our policy. I don’t want to get into terminology or how we referred to it. We acknowledged that 1.5 million Armenians were massacred, as I said, and we want to see a full historical accounting of those events.”
“I don’t consider Germany’s co-chairmanship completely lost, as two presidential meetings have been launched in that period, proposals, security mechanisms have been submitted, around which works still continue in OSCE. If a meeting is launched in Hamburg, maybe it’ll be possible to come to an agreement around these proposals,” Rahr said.
After spending time with people in Nagorno-Karabakh, it’s clear to me that the only way the nation will ever again be a part of Azerbaijan is if Azerbaijan conquers it.

While on a working visit to the USA, Prime Minister of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic Arayik Harutyunyan on December 5 had a meeting with the leaderships of two Armenian organizations in Washington and took part in the reception organized in the Armenian Embassy.
Trump may have asked Pence to make the call to Sargsyan due to his familiarity with Armenian issues during his 10-year tenure in the House of Representatives.
“Expressed by the PM’s style: do I believe in Aliyev’s changing? I don’t. Will there be revolution in Azerbaijan? I don’t know. Would world countries want that? Maybe. However, there are other interests there, and by realizing that those interests are more important at the moment, than NK issue settlement, we should understand our role. Do we have oil interests there? No.”
Touching upon the deadlock in NK conflict settlement process, Russian military expert said, “Definitely, NK conflict should be, first and foremost, settled through political means, thus, all the sides, including Russia, Armenia and Azerbaijan, other sides interested in the settlement, should manage political dialogue. It’s another issue that it may last for 10-15-20-50 years. It’s somehow natural, but more preferable, than war.”
