    Syrian president held talks in Armenia on Turkey, Azeri relations


    Damascus, 20 June: (SANA) _Presidential Political and Media Adviser
    Buthaynah Sha'ban has described President Bashar al-Asad and wife
    visit to Armenia as successful and unveiled the deep-rooted joint ties
    between the two countries.

    In a statement to Tishrin newspaper published Saturday [20 June],
    Sha'ban stressed that the visit focused on two main axes: the first
    one is the bilateral relations and necessity of developing them in the
    economic, trade, tourist and cultural fields. "The second one is the
    role Syria could play in cooperation with Armenia in solving some of
    the pending issues between Armenia and Turkey and on efforts exerted
    to realize peace in the Middle East and the Caucasus", she added.

    The presidential adviser unveiled that Syrian-Turkish communications
    will be held soon for the rapprochement of views and improving the
    Turkish-Armenian relations in the interest of both countries and
    Syria.

    She pointed out that President al-Asad was keen on getting acquainted
    with the standing situation between Armenia and Azerbaijan during his
    visit to Armenia and before his forthcoming visit to Azerbaijan for
    crystallizing possible solutions to improve the Armenian-Azeri
    relations.

    She underlined that the Armenian side welcomed and appreciated
    President al-Asad's keenness and asserted Syria's import ant role in
    consolidating good relations among the neighbouring countries to
    create positive climate for opening distinguished prospects for
    regional cooperation.

    She said: " President al-Asad's meeting with Armenian President Serzh
    Sargsyan and senior Armenian officials dealt with all common regional
    and international issues, where His Excellency encouraged exchanging
    mutual visits, particularly between the members of the two Parliaments
    and businessmen of the two countries.

    Answering a question on the economic outcome of the visit, Shaaban
    said the strategic vision of President al-Asad in creating a regional
    space which constitutes an efficient economic power, was welcomed by
    all official and public sides, quoting President al-Asad as saying
    that "removing the political obstacles serves the economic and trade
    relations", so he focused on establishment of land transportation net
    between the Middle East and Gulf region on one hand and the Caucasus
    and Central Asia on the other hand which means linking the four The
    Black, Caspian, Mediterranean Seas and Arabian Gulf.
