MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The Swiss People's Party (UDC), which holds the majority in parliament, has said on Thursday that the country should return to holding neutrality in all conflicts.
"Switzerland must strictly return to its perpetual and armed neutrality," the statement said.
Armed neutrality means that Switzerland must be able to protect and defend itself, while the perpetual neutrality means that the country will be credible only if it remains neutral without any exceptions, the UDC explained.
