Germany to RA Hans Schmidt said at a November 13 press conference. In

atmosphere in Armenia for German businessmen to work actively in RA.

relations not only with Armenia but also with all South Caucasian
countries," H. Schmidt mentioned. He also reminded the words of his
country's former Foreign Minister, according to which, the signing
of the Armenian-Turkish protocols is the first important step for
establishment of stability in the region.
Touching upon facilitation of the visa regime within the framework

themselves decided the problem of eliminating the wall and for that
purpose had started a rally movement not being afraid of the repressive
system and Police pressures.
