and added, "Armenia considers itself part of the European family and
European integration is one of our foreign policy priorities."
Underlining the high level of political relations between the two
countries, the President noted, at the same time, that the economic
ties still yield to political ones, and the volume of commodity
turnover is still small. The parties attached importance to the
activation of contacts, exchange of information, which is important
for finding common edges of cooperation.

South Caucasus region, especially Armenia. According to him, the
Czech side attaches great importance to the forthcoming official
visit of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Czech Republic Karel
Schwarzenberg to Armenia from the perspective of further development
of cooperation. The diplomat informed that from January 2009 the Czech
Republic will assume the presidency of the European Union and has the

eastern neighbors, the Ambassador said it can serve as a good basis
for active collaboration.
