On October 22 RA Deputy Foreign Minister Gegham Gharibjanyan received
Cheick Sidi Diarra, Under-Secretary-General and High Representative
for the Least Developed Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries
and Small Island Developing States.
During the meeting the parties discussed issues connected with how
the countries, which have no access to the sea, can ensure stable
communication with the outer world. The interlocutors noted that
such countries should have an opportunity of free transit, and in
this context emphasized the regional cooperation, involvement of
all countries and participation of transit countries in solving the
problems of the states having no access to the sea.
Mr. Gharibjanyan underlined that very often Armenia faces a situation,
when deriving from political motives, the economically vital and
politically prospective programs are substituted with programs
contributing to drawing dividing lines in the region, thus hindering
the implementation of international development programs, including
those worked out within the framework of the UN. Such behavior should
not enjoy the support of international organizations, particularly the
UN. He expressed hope that the UN and Mr. Diarra will contribute to
the development and diversification of Armenia's communication routes.
