Armenian political scientist Suren Sargsyan took to Facebook on Tuesday to outline the requirements which, accusing to him, the country’s new foreign minister should meet.

"Our new foreign minister should:

1. Be maximum acceptable, understood and recognized by Russia.
2. Master the [Nagorno-Karabakh] negotiation process in detail.
3. Have experience of direct participation in the talks.
4. Have a direct connection with the Russian leadership (also personal).
5. Be acceptable to Washington and Paris.
6. Work independently, with minimal influence from the country’s leader.
7. Have long-term experience in diplomatic service.

It is not an easy thing, but if he manages to bring back even 100 hectares as a result of the demarcation of the drawn map and if there is a 1% chance to avoid the agreement with such disgraceful statements, he should do it,” the expert said.

Sargsyan stated only two figures meet the mentioned requirements, without further elaborating.
