Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan spoke highly of his country's
strategic partnership with Russia in a recent interview as the two
nations mark the 20th anniversary of their diplomatic ties.
Russia is a strategic partner that has always been supportive during
difficult times, the Armenpress news agency on Tuesday quoted him as
saying in the interview with Russian business TV channel RBC.
"Russia is our strategic partner and that makes all of our relations
strategic," Sargsyan said, adding that this strategic partnership
means Armenia and Russia share common geopolitical interests and
common stands on world and regional affairs.
"Based on this, in all spheres we have joint projects that aim to
enhance the cooperation," he said.
The Armenian prime minister said Armenia has always felt the support
of Russian colleagues when it faced hardships in the past 20 years,
which he called a period of achievement between Armenia and Russia.
On the economic front, Sargsyan said the government is taking measures
to make the country more attractive to investors.
"Taking into account the fact that the region contains lots of rather
serious geopolitical risks, we have to compensate for these risks by
creating favorable conditions for entrepreneurs. Improvement of the
business environment is a priority for us," he said.
On Armenia's ties with its neighbor Georgia, Sargsyan said Armenia
would continue to build friendly relations with Georgia even if
Georgia joined the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.
