YEREVAN. – Armenia is facing lots of foreign challenges, parliament opposition ARF Dashnaktsutyun MP Armen Rustamyan said on Friday.

“These challenges include Armenian-Turkish relations, Nagorno-Karabakh peace process and the Javakhk issue. And we are to seek the solution within ourselves,” he said.

Rustamyan said that the authorities have been discussing the draft of the foreign policy concept, which he got familiarized with and made some offers as a head of the Standing Committee on Foreign Relations. Moreover, he has serious concerns over the concept, which lacks a very important provision.

“It should be based on such an ideology, which will be able to protect national and state interests effectively, and to be adequate in overcoming the challenges,” Rustamyan stated.
