Ukraine has not yet received an invitation to participate in the
events commemorating the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide,
Ukraine’s Ambassador to Armenia Ivan Kukhta has said.
“I’m not informed who Armenia is going to invite. After we receive
an invitation, I’ll inform at what level Ukraine will be present at
the events,” Amb. Kukhta told reporters in Yerevan.
He said Ukraine and Armenia are interested in the deepening of
economic ties, although there has been a certain decline in the
commodity turnover as compared to 2013 because of well-known reasons.
The Ambassador noted that the fact of Armenia joining the Eurasian
Economic Union cannot be an obstacle for the development of relations
between the two countries. “Ukraine understands and respects Armenia’s
decision,” he said.
Speaking about the military actions in Donetsk and Luhansk, Mr. Kukhta
described them as “terrorist acts, the responsibility for which lies
with the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, and the third party,
i.e. Russia.”
