ArmInfo.The "Lavrov's Plan" really exists, and initially Artsakh rejected this Plan, and then it was frozen, in which state it remains to this day. Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary, former Deputy Foreign Minister of Armenia Arman Navasardyan expressed a similar opinion to ArmInfo.
"Accordingly, the statements by Foreign Minister Zohrab Mnatsakanyan that there is no such document on the negotiating table today are completely correct and reflect the current situation. That's exactly why it's called a document because it is agreed by the parties and signed. There is no similar document on the negotiating table today. Nevertheless, we need to carefully monitor Russia's reaction to what is happening around Artsakh. First of all, in view of the observed noticeable institutional tensions between Moscow and Yerevan, "he said.
According to the diplomat, the foreign policy of Armenia in recent years was distinguished by "toothless" and a lack of willingness for counterattacks. In this light, statements about negotiating heroes in the ranks of the former regime do not at all reflect the sad realities. Moreover, today the issue of Artsakh, according to Navasardyan, is beyond any doubt and doubtful comments. The diplomat is convinced that Artsakh is and will be the number 1 issue for Armenia and that any government that does not realize this will resign.
According to Navasardyan, it is impossible to fill the Armenian foreign policy with replacements in the diplomatic corps with determination. Diplomacy at its core depends on state policy, respectively, being a complex issue. At the same time, he noted with regret that the revolution did not penetrate into the offices of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and, in particular, into the key embassies in which issues that are very important for Armenia were resolved. And the style of work of the previous administration of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs after the change of power did not receive a proper assessment. As a result, the Foreign Ministry still does not have the concept of organizing its own work and elementary collegiality, without which no ministry works in the world.
"In this light, I have some concerns about the speeches of Prime Minister Pashinyan on the" remains of Serzh ". In particular, regarding his own appointments as ambassadors in three key countries, people from the closest circle of the same Serzh Sargsyan. Prior to this, there were appointments of non-professional ambassadors. Meanwhile, diplomacy leaves no room for dilettanteism. A special question is why the prime minister does not get rid of all these personnel. I personally have no answer to it, "the diplomat summed up.
