Representative of ARF Dashnaktsutyun supreme body, Armen Rustamyan, said that ARFD urged its offices worldwide to double efforts to prevent adoption of Azerbaijan’s resolution on Karabakh in the UN General Assembly.

“Many countries supports such resolutions proceeding from their own interests. To counterbalance Azerbaijan’s attempts to launch a process parallel to the ongoing one, Armenia should initiate a campaign for international recognition of Artsakh and form a tandem with this republic,” Rustamyan told a news conference on August 31.

As to extension of terms of the Russian military base deployment in Armenia, he noted that “ARFD supports agreements aimed to strengthen Armenia’s security, somehow endangered by the frustrated dialogue with Turkey.”
