Escalation of tension between Georgia and South Ossetia can shift some emphases in Armenia’s foreign policy, Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan said in National Assembly on Wednesday.

YEREVAN, September 11. /ARKA/. Escalation of tension between Georgia and South Ossetia can shift some emphases in Armenia’s foreign policy, Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan said in National Assembly on Wednesday.

“We are studying the consequences of the conflict escalation. Some change in emphases is likely in Armenia’s foreign policy. Why not?”, he said.

Nalbandyan said that Armenian authorities have done whatever necessary to shield the country’s economy and routine life from negative effect of the conflict escalation.

The minister said that’s why the country avoided shocks.
Nalbandyan said that the developments in South Ossetia spurred Armenia to intensify its efforts to find alternative communications with the outside world.-0-
