Armenia and Kazakhstan are allies: RA President
12:43 / 12/19/2009RA President Serzh Sargsyan is content with dynamics
of cooperation with Kazakhstan, Armenian President told in the
exclusive interview with Kazinform news agency.
Presently, Serzh Sargsyan is on a visit to Almaty, participating in an
informal summit of the heads of CIS states.
`Armenia and Kazakhstan are the allies within the framework of the
Collective Security Treaty Organization. It speaks for itself. There
is no higher level of cooperation between the states than the
alliance, which assumes mutual obligations in case of a threat to one
of the parties. We dynamically develop this cooperation through the
formation of Collective Rapid Reaction Forces, development of
contractual basis and holding of large-scale joint exercises,'
Armenian President said. He expressed confidence that potential of
economic cooperation is not used in full. President underlined that in
future contacts between both states' business-communities should be
encouraged and comfortable conditions for interaction created.
Serzh Sargsyan recalled that Armenia supported Kazakhstan's
candidature for OSCE presidency in 2010. `In reaching this decision we
considered both our alliance within the CSTO, awareness of Kazakhstan
on the main problems of South Caucasus region and, certainly, big
personal experience of President Nazarbayev,' Sargsyan added.
Commenting on the consequences of global crisis, President outlined
that the idea of formation of the EurAsEC Anti-Crisis Fund was
proposed in Kazakhstan. `I think our countries made serious efforts to
establish the mechanism of such a fund. But given the fact that the
crisis will not wait, it is necessary that the activity of the fund
become tangible for our economies as soon as possible,' President
stated.
