ArmInfo. We should deepen our relations with Latin American countries, because in recent years, because of the passivity of Armenia, Azerbaijan has intensified its influence in the region.
This was announced on April 15 at the meeting of the standing parliamentary commission on foreign relations by its chairman Ruben Rubinyan.He noted that in order to strengthen these relations, it is proposed to establish the Armenia-Costa Rica Friendship Group. "Due to the activity of Azerbaijan and the passivity of our position, resolutions have been adopted in a number of Latin American countries against Armenia. We need to put an end to this and intensify our ties," Rubinyan stressed. The Commission gave a positive conclusion to this proposal.
Another issue on the agenda was the "Agreement between the Government of Armenia and the Government of Argentina on the program of vacations and work." As the Deputy Foreign Minister of Armenia Grigor Hovhannisyan stated, this Agreement will give an opportunity to young people to visit the countries for the purpose of short-term stay in a facilitated mode. In addition, people included in this program will be able to work quietly in these countries. Visits can be both working and educational. Such an opportunity can take advantage of citizens of Armenia and Argentina, aged 18 to 38 years.The agreement also received a positive conclusion from the parliamentary commission.
