President Serzh Sargsyan held meeting with leadership of diplomatic service
Today, at Karen Demirchyan Sports and Concerts Complex President Serzh Sargsyan held a meeting with the senior staff of the Armenian Foreign Affairs Ministry’s central apparatus and the heads of the Armenian diplomatic missions abroad, talked about the vital issues of our country’s foreign policy agenda.
“Enough time has passed since my last meeting with the leadership of the diplomatic service of the Republic Of Armenia despite the fact that you have regularly held regional meetings and I visited the MFA central apparatus 2 months ago. Besides, in recent times I have had numerous opportunities to hold meetings and talk with many of you. This gathering offers us a great chance to touch upon our foreign policy agenda, the traditional, as well as newly emerging international and regional challenges and the ways to respond them.
Unfortunately, I have to state that serious tendencies of instability can be noticed in the international arena. Tensions and uncertainties keep on increasing. It necessitates further improving the activities of our diplomatic missions, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other relevant bodies, as well as reinforcing inter-ministerial collaboration. A diplomat should be able to thoroughly examine, analyze and assess the situation, forecast future developments and offer solutions stemming from national interests. We often mention that human capital is the most valuable resource. Thus, an expectant and reactive diplomat who dodges his responsibilities is an inadmissible luxury for a state like ours. We expect you to be actively engaged in all the areas in which Armenia and Armenians have direct or indirect interests,” said the President of Armenia at the meeting with the leadership of the RA diplomatic service.
In his address, Serzh Sargsyan touched upon the urgent issues of the Armenian foreign policy agenda, the works carried out by the Foreign Affairs Ministry in a number of directions and the coming activities, the implementation process of the programs having strategic importance for our country, the existing challenges and the Ministry’s steps to respond to those challenges. Serzh Sargsyan also presented the current level of Armenia’s relations with partner countries and talked about their prospects. He touched upon the resolution process of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict in the format of the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs and the present situation 20 years after the ceasefire was concluded. The president stressed the importance of diplomacy in the negotiation process and the everyday persistent work of each diplomat present at the meeting.
Serzh Sargsyan talked about the joint efforts and concerted works all Armenians should implement ahead of the Armenian Genocide Centenary, taking a comprehensive and thorough approach to that issue and the need of organizing the multifarious events dedicated to the Armenian Genocide Centenary at a high level.
In his address, the president touched upon regional issues, the Armenian-Turkish relations, the process of Armenia’s membership in the Customs Union and the economic relations.
Serzh Sargsyan stressed the importance of Armenia’s assistance to the large Armenian community of Syria who are running all the dangers of the Syrian crises and suffering the worst outcomes. The president highly praised the activities of the Armenian Embassy to Syria and the consulate-general which have rendered great assistance to the Armenians in Syria throughout this time and thanked the Armenian diplomats working in that country for their brave and devoted service.
The president spoke about the active measures being taken by our country to ensure regional and international security and underscored that Armenia performs its duties in a full-fledged manner prioritizing allied relations.
Serzh Sargsyan stressed the importance of activities aimed at consolidating the collaboration between Armenia and the European Union, as well as at further reinforcing and advancing the bilateral relations with European countries.
The President of Armenia drew the attention of the RA diplomatic service leadership to the need of reinvigorating the economic component of diplomacy. The president underscored that in order to attract foreign investments in our country, it is necessary to make the Armenian economy more popular and offer a chance to take the full advantage of making an investment in Armenia. In that context, Armenia’s decision to join the Eurasian Economic Union is of great importance.
Serzh Sargsyan also touched upon the quality of consular services and stressed that despite important reforms have been made in the consular sphere in recent years targeted at facilitating the procedures of rendering consular services to citizens, there are still a lot of works to do. The president assured that Armenian citizens are the first to assess each reform and innovation, and the primary indicator of consular services is measured only by their positive grades and satisfaction. According to the president, rendering quality services requires high quality human resources and there are works being implemented in that direction as well. Serzh Sargsyan highly emphasized the role of the Diplomatic School of Armenia in recruiting high quality personnel to our diplomatic service. Concluding his speech, the president wished the leadership of the diplomatic service successes and answered their questions.

Dear compatriots, I cordially congratulate you on the occasion of Victory and Peace Day. For the Armenian people, May 9 holds great significance because it heralded the beginning of a new and peaceful life. During World War II, hundreds of thousands of Armenians fought in the trenches of justice and freedom and came out with credit. For us, this is first of all a holiday of peace which afforded us a historic opportunity to give the fatherland a new start in life with our honest work. The destiny gave us one more historic opportunity – one more May victory. On May 9 of 1992, we were once again in the trenches of justice and freedom fighting against national discrimination and genocide. With the liberation of Shushi, not only Stepanakert avoided physical annihilation, but also Artsakh, as well as Armenia and Armenians’ future in the broad sense. Today, we bow with gratitude to the memory of all the brave fighters who paid for peace by their own lives. Long live the peace – the mother of all blessings of the world! |

President Serzh Sargsyan made a press statement concerning the events in Kesab
|
President Sezh Sargsyan made a press statement concerning the events in Kesab at the World Forum Convention Center in The Hague. The President expressed his deep concern over the events in Kesab. “All of us perfectly remember the history of Kesab, which was unfortunately, full of hellish realities deportations in the last century,” said Serzh Sargsyan. The President of Armenia reminded that the first scourge was back in April 1909 when the Turkish armed detachments invaded Kesab. The Armenians took shelter in mountain Garaturan and on the coast. After setting Kesab on fire and plundering it, Turks made their way to Garaturan, burned and looted the houses of the upper district. A French ship transported Armenians to Latakia. After living in Latakia for one year, the emigrants returned to Kesab and reconstructed their houses. When touching upon the historical facts Serzh Sargsyan also recalled another date – events of 1915, when the Kesab population also experienced migration and exiles of the Armenian Genocide. Armenians of Kesab were exiled in two directions: to Der Zor and to the south up to Jordan. Thousands died en route, the majority perished in Deir Zor Desert. “The third deportation of Kesab Armenians today is a serious challenge to ethnic minority rights’ protection mechanisms of the 21st century. I think that everyone should realize that these parallels should sober all the sides”, underlined the President of Armenia. President thanked the Syrian authorities for the steps being taken to protect the Armenians in Kesab at this difficult moment. “I have already instructed the diplomatic missions at the UN Headquarters in New-York and Geneva to raise the issue of ensuring the security of the Armenians in Kesab and their safe return to their permanent places of residence at the structures dealing with human rights and ethnic minorities,” said President Sargsyan. Today the President of Armenia also had consultation with the Catholicos of the Great House of Cilicia Aram I in connection with the current situation. President Serzh Sargsyan assured that the Embassy of the Republic of Armenia in Syria worked on the program of measures to support the Armenians in Kesab. The program will be implemented in a full scale. |

The statement of President Serzh Sargsyan at the joint press Conference with the President of the Czech Republic Miloš Zeman
Your Excellency Mr. President, I am pleased to pay my first state visit to the Czech Republic at the invitation of the President of the Czech Republic. We just held substantive and productive talks with President Zeman in the atmosphere of complete mutual understanding. We discussed both issues of our bilateral agenda as well as current regional and international topics. We noted with satisfaction that since the establishment of diplomatic relations between our countries we have registered prominent progress in interstate affairs. A dozen of documents on different fields signed today and to be signed tomorrow attest to it. We outlined healthcare, environment, decentralized collaboration, trade, economic and cultural cooperation as the areas of prospective cooperation. We stressed the necessity of widening business connections and stimulating investments, promoting people-to-people contacts and developing tourism. The direct flights under operation between our capitals serve as an important prerequisite for that. We attached importance to the ongoing Armenian-Czech business forum within the current visit. We mutually highlighted the importance of the inter-parliamentary cooperation supported by the friendship groups established within the two parliaments. We underlined the necessity of consistent development of cultural, educational and scientific ties. This year Yerevan and in 2015 Prague will respectively host Days of Czech and Armenian cultures. Mr. President proposed us to more actively encourage our youth to study in the Czech Republic, and I am surely grateful for that. We reaffirmed the mutual will to deepen cooperation between our states within the framework of such international platforms as the UN institutions, OSCE, Council of Europe as well as the EU Eastern Partnership. Prague stands high on Armenia’s European agenda, which is a priority in our foreign policy. About five years ago it was precisely in Prague, where Armenia undertook a commitment to enhance closer cooperation with the EU upon the start of the Eastern Partnership. This commitment was reaffirmed at the Vilnius summit last November. We are determined to continuously enhance and expand our relations with the EU. In this respect, we expect the support of friendly nations, especially the Czech comprehensive support. We are convinced that different integration processes may certainly be developed based on compatibility and cooperation rather than controversy. In this sense the Eastern Partnership might serve as a natural bridge fostering economic integration from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. We are committed to make consistent efforts toward constructing more inclusive Europe, free from dividing lines. I am thankful to Mr. President for his understanding toward our decision to join the Customs Union. I am also thankful to the President of the Czech Republic for the invitation to the Eastern Partnership Summit that will take place on April 24, in Prague and I am particularly thankful for appreciating my visit to Prague on the 24th of April, bearing in mind that on the 24th of April Armenians across the world pay their tribute to the victims of the Genocide. We highly appreciate the constructive position of the Czech Republic in support to the efforts of the OSCE Minsk group co-chairs to find a peaceful resolution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. In November 2013, after a two-year interval the meeting of the Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan took place in Vienna, which by itself is a positive step in the negotiation process. The direct contacts on the presidential level are important stimulus to the ongoing negotiations under the auspices of the OSCE Minsk Group, which is the only format of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict resolution. The principles and provisions embedded in the Presidents’ statements of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chair countries – Russia, the USA and France – provide appropriate ground for the just and enduring settlement of the conflict. We share the stance of the co-chair countries that those principles and provisions should be viewed as a whole and the attempts to prioritize one over the other will make consensus and conflict settlement impossible.
|
|
Nevertheless, the settlement of the problem is not realistic unless Azerbaijan abandons the malicious policy of bellicose propaganda, incitement of arms race and provocative actions along the line of contact. It’s high time for Azerbaijan to adopt a constructive stance on the exclusively peaceful settlement of the conflict. Here let me make a very important emphasis, Mr. President: we expect from the international community to show impartial approach or at least to be guided by the principle of not harming the process. I completely shared the view of President Zeman that the regional conflicts shall be resolved through exclusively peaceful means and negotiations. I assess our meeting as productive and hope that the Armenian-Czech dialogue and cooperation will develop and widen in different fields by mutual efforts and based on already existing grounds. I thanked President Zeman for warm hospitality and invited him to pay a state visit to Armenia and I am thankful that he was pleased to accept the invitation. |
