Although the Armenian-Ukrainian friendship has a long history,
Armenia doesn't include Ukraine in its large-scale projects. The
Ukrainian party applied for participation in the construction of a
new nuclear power plant in Armenia, but did not receive a positive
response, Ukraine's Ambassador to Armenia Alexander Bozhko told a
press conference today.
Armenians and Ukrainians are friends, there are warm relations
between the two countries. Ukrainians buy more Armenian cognac than
Armenians, Bozhko said. However, Ukraine has not yet recognized the
Armenian Genocide.
"First of all you have to think about our problems, which really
exist," the Ambassador said.
"There is great respect for the events commemorating the Armenian
Genocide in Ukraine, while no Armenian official participated in
a similar event organized in Armenia, although we had sent out
invitations," Bozhko said.
The Ukrainian Ambassador considers that the issue of establishment of
the Armenian-Turkish relations should be solved through negotiations,
which require time.
