YEREVAN. – Armenia must not seek different paths as the core issue is security and national interests, former MP Vardan Bostanjyan said referring to foreign policy orientation.

Despite importance of economic issues, foreign policy must be built based on security which is number one matter of concern, he believes.

“Nowadays Armenia has to choose Russia, given the security guarantees within CSTO. As to sales of Russian weapons to Azerbaijan, we must prove to be a reliable partner to avoid such deals,” Prosperous Armenia member told reporters on Wednesday.

Armenia is expected to initial Association Agreement, a core element of which is Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement (DCFTA), during the Eastern Partnership summit in Vilnius.
