SENATE MARSHAL: ARMENIA'S ISOLATION HINDERS IN DEVELOPMENT OF ECONOMIC RELATIONS WITH POLAND
Regnum, Russia
Nov 7 2006
Armenian-Polish economic relations are at lower level than political
ones; Polish Marshal Senate Bogdan Borusewicz is quoted by a REGNUM
correspondent as stating on November 6.
According to him, commodities turnover between Armenia and Poland
totals merely $15mln; the fact may be explained by continuing Armenia's
blockade. "It is mainly connected with fact that Armenia is isolated
by Turkey, Azerbaijan, as well as, one might say, by Russia because
blocking Georgia Russia has blocked Armenia, too," he stated stressing
that "it negatively influences upon Armenia." "Investors invest mainly
in places, from which it is possible to get into other countries,
too. Armenia is isolated in such sense," Bogdan Borusewicz added.
Meanwhile, as the Polish Senate Marshal stressed, "Armenia and
Armenians has been positively reflected by Polish mass media. Poles
love and respect Armenians." "Big Armenian community functioned in
frames of Polish state as far back as the 16th century; Armenians
filled rather high posts: they were ambassadors in Turkey and Persia
speaking on behalf of Poland and defending its interests. A big group
of the Poles of Armenian origin there is in Poland, too.
Unfortunately, they do not speak their language; however, their
distinctive surnames remind them of their origin," Bogdan Borusewicz
said.
It is worth stressing; the Polish delegation headed by Senate Marshal
Bogdan Borusewicz is on its two-day official visit in Yerevan.
