Armenia seeks for relations with Russia, US, EU, Georgia, Iran

“We wish for deepening of relations with Russia as well as with U.S., the EU, Georgia, and Iran,” said Armenia’s Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian in his interview with Armenian Public Television. He pointed that in Armenian government’s interest is to solve all disagreements with partners. “We are interested in solving of all existing disagreements, and, standing from this position, we will move forward,” said Minister Nalbandian.

When asked whether Armenia is ready to mediate any talks, Edward Nalbandian said: “One shouldn’t stretch the truth of real capabilities of Armenia; however, sometimes Armenia plays role of a mediator. As in talks on the Upper Lars checkpoint’s opening, which successfully were held with Armenia’s mediation and resulted in a big hand. And now, when the checkpoint has opened, we can openly state that this was our big time, this was a success of Russia, Georgia, and Armenia.”
