ArmInfo.The Motherland is the guarantor of the spiritual security of the Diaspora, and the Diaspora is the most important beneficiary of ensuring the economic and territorial security of the Motherland. Ara Babloyan, Speaker of the Armenian Parliament stated this at the 6th forum of Armenia-Diaspora.
He stressed that at present a new Armenia is being built with new perspectives and opportunities. "We have chosen the path of democracy and stable development, and we will not turn away from this path for any reasons," Babloyan said. He also assured that the National Assembly of Armenia is open for any constructive proposals. At the same time Babloyan stressed that the implementation of any programs would be impossible in the absence of peace and security. "The security and integrity of Armenia's borders are not divisible from the security of Artsakh, in whose face we have had a second Armenian statehood for 25 years. In many parliaments of foreign countries we have friends who are in solidarity with the aspirations of the Artsakh people, "Babloyan said, stressing that the Armenian army is the guarantor of the security of Armenia and Artsakh, in the strength of which we are all sure. He stressed that no negotiations can be higher than the idea of freedom and independence of Nagorno- Karabakh. "This is the unifying agenda of our domestic and foreign policy," Babloyan said. Touching upon the international integration of Armenia, he assured that the republic enjoys the image of a reliable partner both in the Eurasian Economic Union and in the European Union, both in Iran and in China. "In our international relations, we aspire not only to receive benefits, but also to be useful," the speaker said, stressing that with the transition to a parliamentary form of government, emphasis will be placed on the development of people's diplomacy. "And on this path we need the assistance of the Diaspora," Babloyan said. He also focused on the problems of Syrian Armenians and methods of promoting them.
