Sargsyan: Discussing Own Domestic Issues in Another Country Insulting

PanARMENIAN.Net - During his visit to the US Armenian Defense Minister Serge Sargsyan is not going to discuss issues referring to Armenia's home policy. The Armenian MOD head stated it in a conversation with journalists in Yerevan October 11. "I consider discussing own domestic issues in another country insulting. Views may be exchanged, but there may be no discussion," Mr. Sargsyan said. In his words, the visit will be held on the invitation of the American party, specifically Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld. S. Sargsyan informed the visit will not exceed 4-5 days thus not lasting a week "as the press had reported." In the Minister's opinion, no agreements or treaties will be signed in the US. "All corresponding agreements between us are signed, and I do not think there will be any new bills," Sargsyan said.



As it was reported earlier, at the National Press Club in Washington S. Sargsyan will make a statement, titled Armenia: Security and Development Prospects in the South Caucasus. During his visit he will meet with US Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, National Security Council top officials, as well as Armenian servicemen participating in the Kansas National Guard exercises. The Armenian MOD head will also visit the US Central Command base situated in Tampa, Florida, reported IA Regnum.
