Armenia's Joining GUAM Not Even Discussed
When commenting on the hearsay of Armenia's possible joining the GUAM Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian said that Yerevan has no intention to join the organization. "We do not even discuss the issue. The GUAM advocates an ideology that conflicts with Armenia's policy. The activities of this organization hamper Armenia's development," the RA FM told a news conference in Yerevan today.

When touching upon the Armenian-Russian relations, specifically of the killing of 6 Armenians in Russia in 2006 Minister Oskanian said this fact did not tell on the relations between the two states. "Murders do not influence on our relations but they pose new problems," he said.
