Barrot: Relations between Armenia and France are of strategic nature

ArmInfo.  Relations between Armenia and France are, for the most part, of a strategic nature. This was stated by French Minister of Europe and Foreign Affairs Jean-Noel Barrot during a joint press conference in Yerevan with his  Armenian counterpart Ararat Mirzoyan, in response to a question about  the possibility of elevating the relations between Paris and Yerevan  to the level of a strategic partnership.

According to him, considering the broad scope of cooperation, there  are plans to prepare a document outlining future cooperation,  including in the military sphere. "My colleague Ararat and I intend  to document our cooperation, which will have strategic content and  formalize the existing relations, and outline the  direction of our  collaboration, including in the defense sphere," Barrot said.

Mirzoyan, in turn, noted that he shares what Barro said regarding  Armenian-French strategic cooperation.  According to him, there are  many instruments and areas of cooperation between the two countries,  that even some  countries with a strategic cooperation document on do  not have. The Minister also assured that the parties will work on  creating such a document, taking into account, among other things,  the wishes of representatives from  the media sphere.
