Membership in the UN Human Rights Council is one of the permanent works of Armenia’s foreign policy, the Armenian acting FM Zohrab Mnatsakanyan said in an interview with Public TV.

According to him, Armenia is one of the candidates for membership in the Council.

“We also put forward our candidacy for membership in the UN Security Council, but for a later date. This is now a crucial moment for us, the elections will be held in October, and we will be very actively promoting our campaign.

And our today's internal agenda only helps us to be more competitive in this race. We are in the Eastern European group, and there are only two places and three countries, including us,” the Armenian FM noted.
