YEREVAN, February 10. /ARKA/. Armenia’s Government will approve the country’s foreign policy concept by March 15, RA Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan said today, reporting back to the RA Government.
“This is a rather complicated document, but we are to draw it up on a tight timetable,” he added.
Touching upon the ministry’s activities in 2008, Nalbandyan pointed out dozens of government decisions, with some of them remaining on paper. The government postponed amendments to the Law on Diplomatic Service and the RA Land Code to 2009, the minister added.
The RA Foreign Ministry last year asked foreign diplomatic missions to support Armenia revising those laws, particularly the Law on diplomatic Service.
In his turn, RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan stressed the need for adopting a single document for Armenian officials and delegations participating in international conferences and workshops on the Karabakh conflict.
“Since we often send our officials on missions, they need a document about our official stand on basic issues,” Nalbandyan said, adding a similar document on the Karabakh conflict and other international issues has been forwarded to all agencies. –0--
