the OSCE member-countries, Head of OSCE Yerevan Office Vladimir
Pryakhin said at the presentation of the publication of the Helsinki
Final Act of the OSCE. He pointed out that just after declaring its
independence, Armenia joined the OSCE in 1992 and actively worked
within the organization. The evidence is the opening of the OSCE
Yerevan Office on the initiative of the Armenian authorities, which
became a new stimulus for Armenia – OSCE cooperation. “Yerevan openly
accepted the programs the OSCE realize in Armenia. Armenia’s
cooperation with the OSCE can be characterized as very productive”,
