Alexander Bozhko believes that Armenian-Ukrainian relations will
continue developing.
"First of all, we attach importance to economic ties in our relations
with Armenia. In 2005, the trade turnover between our countries
totaled $118mln, while in 2008 it reached $130mln. Unfortunately,
30-40% drop was recorded as a result of the crisis. Currently, we
are trying to eliminate its consequences," the Ukrainian Ambassador
to Armenia told a press conference in Yerevan today.
Referring to Ukraine's participation in GUAM, Alexander Bozhko stressed
that the country's membership in the organization does not prevent
it from building equal relations with Armenia and Azerbaijan.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Konstyantyn Gryshchenko will visit Armenia
in August to hold talks on regional and international issues, Alexander
Bozhko informed.
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan also intends to visit Ukraine that
testifies to warm relationship between the two countries, he said.
According to recent data, over 300, 000 Armenians reside in Ukraine,
as compared with 30,000 in the beginning of 1990s, the Ambassador
noted, adding that the number of Armenian residents is increasing.
He also stressed that he will spare no efforts for Ukrainians to get
direct information about Armenia and its history.
