Armenia will make a counter offer on European Parliament’s resolutionMay 27, 2010 - 19:42 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - I believe, after RA President’s return from Brussels, European Parliament’s resolution 2216 will be discussed again, RA Deputy Foreign Minister Karine Kazinian noted. As she stated at the sitting of RA NA Committee for European Integration, “Beside points raising concern, the resolution also contains stipulations supporting Armenia’s interests: peaceful settlement of Karabakh issue and intermediary status for NKR.” As Karine Kazinian noted, RA MFA was initially familiarised with resolution contents. RA Deputy Foreign Minister characterised the resolution as non-binding, adding that Armenia will make a counter offer. Heritage parliamentary group member Stepan Safaryan, in turn, noted that passivity of Armenian side during the adoption of resolution 2213 was caused by low financing for propaganda in Armenia. He expressed reluctance to witness development of events where Armenia would face a choice between European Integration and NKR.
