Filed Under Asbarez Daily | Leave a Comment
GLENDALE–Armenia’s Presidential Advisor Vigen Sargsyan Wednesday told Horizon Television, in an exclusive interview, that Armenian authorities are ready to learn lessons from recent developments in Armenia and forge new political policies.
Sargsyan is scheduled to represent Armenia’s government at a hearing Wednesday organized by the Congressional Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe–the so-called Helsinki Commission–which will address the aftermath of Armenia’s presidential elections.
During the interview with Horizon TV’s Alisa Petrossian, Sargsyan also emphasized that the lessons learned from the post-election unrest should serve as a lesson for each Armenian around the world to come together and unite behind the Republic of Armenia, since unfriendly nations–enemies–have used the unrest to threaten Armenia’s national security and hinder its image internationally.
