ArmInfo. Armenian Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan met Chairman of the
CoE Committee of Ministers, Slovak Foreign Minister Jan Kubis, Monday.
The Armenian governmental press-service told ArmInfo that the meeting
covered the current state of the bilateral cooperation, issues related
to further deepening of the European integration process, as well as
the possibility that EU member Slovakia may support Armenia. Armenian
Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan noted that Armenia is inspired with the
active political dialogue and development of economic ties. "Armenia
completely supports all the initiatives of the CoE Committee of
Ministers currently led by Slovakia", he said.
For his part, Jan Kubis congratulated Serzh Sargsyan on his victory
at the presidential election and wished him good luck. He recalled the
international observers' assessment which pointed out not only positive
elements, but also the existing problems. He stressed that these
authoritative organizations, which have been carrying out observation
missions in various countries, qualify the presidential election in
Armenia as a step forward as compared with the parliamentary one,
and this is very important for Armenia.
Kubis asked Sargsyan to tell him about his post-electoral plans,
the prospects of Armenia's cooperation with the EU and NATO,
Armenian-Turkish relations, the Nagorno-Karabakh peace process and
Armenian-Slovak relations.
The sides pointed out that Armenian-Slovak trade-economic cooperation
is not developing as quickly as it should and must be intensified. It
is also necessary to establish active contacts between Armenian and
Slovak businessmen.
