ARMENIAN PRIME MINISTER EMPHASIZES CIS, EURASEC AND CSTO FOR CONTRIBUTING TO RAPPROCHEMENT OF COUNTRIES
YEREVAN, November 16. / ARKA /. Armenian prime minister Tigran
Sarkisian commended today the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS),
a loose organization of former Soviet republics, the Eurasian Economic
Community and the Russia-led Collective Security Treaty Organization
(CSTO) for contributing to rapprochement of countries as he received
members of Chief Editors Club.
"We show our support for these organizations, and are actively
involved in their activities because we see our participation brings
real benefit," he said.
According to Sarkisian, Armenia supports direct dialogue on post-Soviet
space. Speaking on relations with Azerbaijan, he said they boil down to
talks in the framework of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chaired by Russia,
France and the U.S. He said there are also direct contacts between
the heads of state.
"Judging by my own experience, I can say that such meetings are useful
- direct contacts and discussions between heads of government and
states in an informal way allow to discuss not only issues of primary
importance in bilateral relations and international formats. They help
also establish atmosphere of mutual trust as we become predictable
for each other," he said.
Chief Editors Club members from former Soviet republics, including
the Baltic States and Georgia have arrived in Armenia to meet with
prime minister. This organization was established in 2011 in Astana,
Kazakhstan, on the fringes of the European and Asian Media Forum. It
brings together the chief editors of leading publications in the
post-Soviet space. -0-
