ARMENIAN COMMUNISTS TAKE EASY THE VISIT OF NATO SECRETARY GENERAL TO YEREVAN
15.01.2001, MEDIAMAX, YEREVAN. "The Communist Party of Armenia doesn't regard the visit of NATO Secretary General Lord George Robertson to Yerevan as a turn of Armenian foreign priorities for the North-Atlantic alliance", said today the secretary of the Central Committee of the Armenian Communist Party Gagik Tadevosian in the interview to Mediamax.
"Armenia, as an independent state, is free to receive representatives of any organization", he said. Reminding that the Communist Party of Armenia adheres to strictly pro-Russian policy, Tadevosian noted that relations with Russia should become the top priority of Armenia's foreign policy.
Tadevosian also said further statements of the President and the Foreign Minister of Armenia will indicate the influence George Robertson's visit to Yerevan might possibly have on the foreign policy of Armenia. -0-
