ArmInfo. Armenia has always been a supporter of open cooperation, respect for the interests of others and, if possible, their comparison. This was stated at the Munich Security Conference by Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan.
"We tried not to put our partners before the choice, and where possible, create an atmosphere of positive cooperation." I can say that all our colleagues, by and large, have always supported this policy and the steps taken in its result, "he assured. According to him, Armenia joined the Eurasian Economic Union with a clear understanding that it will best serve the development of our economy, the future of our country. As the president emphasized, the results recorded from the moment of entry strengthen the confidence in the fidelity of the adopted path. "At the same time, this is not an obstacle for our cooperation with the European Union, especially in the area of institutional reforms and modernization." Our cooperation with the European Union has been elevated to a new level by the Agreement on Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership. And the process of ratificatios should flow on with a due speed, "he said.
According to him, modernization is a constant process, which makes it possible to move in step with the times. "We will constantly strive to cooperate with all those forces that have already achieved great success and can contribute to the development of our country." The noted policy simplifies Armenia's cooperation with both the EEA and the EU, and it is also an opportunity for all those who wish to expand their business through Armenia ties with these two integration structures, "the Armenian leader said. According to him, Yerevan is currently negotiating with all interested countries to form a new transit corridor from the Black Sea to the Persian Gulf.
"We hope that, if successful, the list of beneficiaries of this will be broader than the countries participating in the negotiation phase, I think that the cooperation of the EU member states and the EEA, in both bilateral and multilateral frameworks, is in line with our common interests and economic progress. I would like to note one more important fact: in our society there was broad agreement on the steps being taken in the direction of Armenia's foreign policy and economic integration, "the Armenian leader summed up.
