YEREVAN. – The four non-government National Assembly factions (Armenian National Congress, Prosperous Armenia, ARF Dashnaktsutyun, and Heritage) do not speak about foreign policy issues amongst themselves, so as to solve the main problem, and not the derivatives.

Opposition Heritage Party Executive Board Vice-Chairman Armen Martirosyan told the aforesaid to Armenian News-NEWS.am. 

He noted that from the beginning, when this collaboration had begun among these four parliamentary forces, an agreement was reached on tackling exclusively domestic policy issues.  

“Armenia’s problems are not conditioned on the external domain, but the domestic because all the external problems come from the domestic problems. In order for us [Armenia] to have a normal [political] policy, you need to have legitimate authorities who are accountable before the people.   

“[But] it is clear that the Armenian authorities’ desire to join the Eurasian Economic Union [EaEU] also fits into the fact of having illegitimate authorities. If we had legitimate authorities, we would have avoided entering into the Eurasian Economic Union.  

“These are the two reasons why foreign policy issues are not discussed at the meetings of the four [parliamentary] forces. Otherwise, every one of us would have insisted on our [respective] outlook,” Martirosyan specifically stated.
