Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to Armenia Charles Lonsdale is
completing his mission in our country. He's leaving with his Armenian
wife, promising to continue to encourage tourists to visit Armenia.
The forthcoming parliamentary and presidential elections are important
steps for Armenia, and the Ambassador wants to them to be the most
transparent ones. "This is an opportunity for Armenia to demonstrate
a step forward in its democratic development."
Although Great Britain is not directly involved in the process
of settlement of the Karabakh conflict, it is interested in the
maintenance of peace and stability in the region, the Ambassador told
a press conference today.
Great Britain has commercial interests in the region, and stability
is important also from the economic point of view, he added.
"We continue to support the Minsk process, hoping that the process
will lead to a peaceful settlement," he said.
"We would like to see a peace agreement signed, and it primarily
depends on two governments," the Ambassador stated.
Charles Lonsdale attached importance to President Serzh Sargsyan's
initiative of normalizing the Armenian-Turkish relations. "We want to
see close relations between the governments and peoples of Armenia
and Turkey, and Great Britain makes efforts in this direction,"
the Ambassador said, adding, however, that he would like to see more
effective results.
