"Geghamyan suggests creating friendly relations in all aspects of
Armenia. He focuses on similarities of interests in his election
program. Our diplomacy must look for similar interests with other
countries," Gagik Tadevosyan, member of National Unity (NU), told
Panorama.am speaking about the foreign relations provisions in the
election program of presidential candidate Artashes Geghamyan. In his
words, even in Armenian-Turkish relations Armenia has common interests.
"Easter regions of Turkey are less developed in terms of social
infrastructure than the center of Turkey. We believe Turkey must
be interested in lifting the borders, active trade and contacts,"
Tadevosyan shared this opinion, also saying that in this context he
really sees commonality of interests.
Asked what steps Armenia must take to improve these relations, he said
that Armenia must continue active diplomatic relations with Turkey,
particularly within Black Sea Economic Cooperation interparliamentary
assembly.
