/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Earlier we used to think that our economic
cooperation with Russia lags behind our political dialogue. However,
given the steady advance of political dialogue, economic cooperation
(including trade, transport, energy and industry) has been brought
to standard," Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian said.
"The volume of Russian investments in Armenian economy has grown. At
that, I suppose that trade and economic relations could still improve
but for absence of overland communications," he noted.
"Armenia also praises Russia’s endeavors for resolution of the Nagorno
Karabakh conflict in format of the OSCE Minsk Group. I think we
should characterize our relations taking account not only of economic
performance but also of conceptual aspect. We see Russia as an ally
which keeps on gaining power in the world and we are confident that
Russia does interpret us as a stable and reliable ally which enjoys
good relations with other states," Vartan Oskanian said in an interview
with Kommersant daily.
