YEREVAN.- Armenia first of all must restore absolute respect to its
sovereignty, presidential candidate Raffi Hovannisian said during an
online press conference on Tuesday.
Only in this case it is possible to carry out modern international
policy based on its vital interests respecting everyone but not being
vulnerable to pressure.
For example, Armenia and Russia still have not used potential for
establishment of real strategic relations which would be reformatted
into modern relationship complying with post-Soviet context.
“Armenia, being one of the oldest sources of Western civilization,
should be able to return to its democratic nature and spiritual values,
so that it could be a full member of the European Union,” he said.
