"I do not agree about categorizing Armenian-Russian relations being in a state of "divorce". Armenia's strategic partnership with Russia and cooperation with NATO are aimed at securing Armenia's national security", Kiro Manoyan, Director of Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) Bureau's Hay Dat and Political Affairs Office stated during online interview initiated by OpenArmenia.com and PanARMENIAN.Net. "Although Genocide recognition by Turkey is a national security issue for Armenia, I don't think getting closer with NATO will necessarily help gain recognition of the genocide by Turkey", he added.
