Turkish factor is key factor approximating Armenia and Macedonia![]() April 14, 2012 - 16:59 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia and Macedonia have several common goals, Honorary Consul of Macedonia to Armenia said. As Arayik Sargsyan told a press conference, the monopoly of a unipolar world headed by the U.S. is gradually receding into the past, with Russia, China, the EU and the Arab League coming to the fore. “Armenia and Macedonia geographically are divided by Turkey, while the problem of the Turkish factor strategically unites them. Neo-Ottomanism and Pan-Turkism spark concerns of Turkey’s two neighbors, of the Balkan Countries, Serbia and Greece,” he said, adding that the common threat may lay the foundation of consolidating ties and joining efforts to form a counterforce. Grigoryan added that the situation around the world and particularly in the region is very difficult. The Armenian Defense Ministry has denied Azerbaijan's accusations of violating the ceasefire. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan took to social media to thank his Lithuanian counterpart for the contribution. President of the Armenian parliament Alen Simonyan met with the Speaker of the Azerbaijani Milli Majlis Sahiba Gafarova. Partner news |
