Does Armenia avoid participation in European initiatives?
"Armenia does not participate in European initiatives whenever Russia is opposed to them, for instance, non-participation of Armenia in PFP military training, with an alleged reason of Georgian armored troop's riot," Heritage party representative, RA MP Stepan Safaryan told a joint news conference with RA Republican Party representative Karen Avagyan.

He also noted that in such cases Russia states its position through media.

Retorting arguments brought by Safaryan, RA Republican Party representative Karen Avagyan noted that at that moment "Georgia had internal political issues, which were the reason why Armenia refused to participate in training."
