YEREVAN. – Armenia is in favor of a dignified cooperation with the regional countries and of resolving the existing problems by way of mutually acceptable methods, Armenia’s National Security Council (NSC) Secretary Arthur Baghdasaryan said Tuesday during a seminar entitled “South Caucasus: New Challenges.”    

Baghdasaryan noted that Armenia is surmounting its national security threats and the present-day challenges. NSC Secretary also underscored the need to guarantee to the three regional countries—Armenia, Georgia, and Azerbaijan—equal international opportunities for economic development, and the impermissibility of regional projects that bypass Armenia. 

In their presentations, German Ambassador Hans-Jochen Schmidt and US Ambassador John Heffern stressed the importance of securing a climate of peace and understanding in the region.
