Armenian opposition figure: So many breakdowns in Armenian foreign policy in 2009

There were many breakdowns in Armenia’s foreign policy within last year all because of regressive democracy and opposition persecutions, Armenia's opposition Armenian National Congress Foreign Relations committee Chair Vladimir Karapetyan said.

“The major contentious process I wish to point out is incredible excitement of Turkey in Karabakh issue, which is a result of Armenian authorities’ breakdowns. That is, their mistakes brought about the situation, when Turkey became a full-fledged player in the solution to the regional issues in the eyes of international community," Karapetyan said.

Besides, no breakthrough is registered in Karabakh peace process. Apart from this, prospects of the processes advantageous to Armenia are pretty vague,” Karapetyan said.

Among the positive achievements of 2009, the opposition figure mentioned raising interest of the leading international structures towards democratization in Armenia.
