JAPAN AND ARMENIA ARE RELIABLE PARTNERS WITH COMMON VALUES: THE AMBASSADOR OF JAPAN TO THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA
YEREVAN, NOVEMBER 5, ARMENPRESS. Armenia and Japan are interested
in the development of steadfast relations in all the spheres. The
development of fraternal relations was noted in the highest level. The
Presidents of the both states are sure about the development of the
cooperation. In a conversation with "Armenpress" the Extraordinary
and Plenipotentiary Ambassador of Japan to Armenia (resident in
Moscow) Chikahito Harada talked about the practical steps towards
the strengthening of reciprocal relations.
- Dear Mr. Ambassador, let's start with reciprocal relations. This
year the President of the Republic of Armenia visited Japan. How do
you appreciate the results of that visit? What ways of development
do you consider as the most perspective?
- It seems to me that the visit of the President of the Republic
of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan to Japan on June stimulated the future
development of the relations and cooperation between the two
countries. In frames of the visit a document regarding the development
of the relationship and cooperation between our countries was signed
by the leaders of our countries. Particularly, among other things
"the cooperation in the sphere of aversion of the natural disasters"
was signified as one of the primary spheres of the cooperation. Also
cooperation in the fields of intergovernmental relations, economic
ties and scientific and technological exchange, alongside with the
exchange in the cultural sphere have been discussed.
- The both countries Japan and Armenia suffered from natural disasters
and from earthquake in particular. Do You consider the exchange
of experience in the sphere of aversion of natural disasters and
reduction of their consequences to the minimum?
- After the heavy earthquake in the East of Japan ceremonies in memory
of the victims of the earthquake and tsunami have been convened on
March, 2011 and the President of the Republic of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan
and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Armenia Edvard
Nalbandyan partook in the ceremony. Beside aforementioned, in June
of 2012 in frames of his visit to Japan the President of the Republic
of Armenia first of all visited the disaster area and encouraged the
people by his warm speech and his assistance.
Let me express our gratification once more for this.
- What is the position of the Government of Japan regarding the
NKR conflict?
- The final regulation of the Nagorno Karabakh impact is of a certain
importance for the security and peace in this Caucasian region. As
it has been mentioned Japan highly appreciates the efforts of the
OSCE Minsk Group and is confident that the final relegation must be
achieved by means of the principals of international law and norms,
the UNO constitution, Helsinki Final Acts regarding equal rights of
the nations and their right for self-determination and the principal
of the territorial integrity.
