Yerevan, April 11 (CTK) - There is an unused potential for the
development of bilaterally advantageous trade relations between the
Czech Republic and Armenia, Czech Foreign Minister Karel Schwarzenberg
said during a Czech-Armenian business forum yesterday.
A consensus on political questions that "reaches 95 percent" makes it
possible to focus on the development of trade contacts and bilateral
opportunities, Schwarzenberg said.
Schwarzenberg conducted talks with his Armenian opposite number
Eduard Nalbandian.
The Yerevan media said Schwarzenberg had been informed of the current
state of the talks about the Armenian-Azerbaijan conflict over the
Nagorno-Karabakh area, occupied by Armenia.
Schwarzenberg laid a wreath at the Tsitsernakaberd memorial as a mark
of respect for the victims of the 1915 massacres perpetrated by the
Turkish military.
During his three-day visit to Armenia, Schwarzenberg is scheduled to
meet President Serzh Sargsian, parliament head Hovik Abrahamyan and
Prime Minister Tigran Sargsian.
Schwarzenberg told the business forum that for further development
of trade and upgrading Armenia's good investment environment, it was
vital to conclude an association agreement with the EU that was close
to the finish.
The document is to be signed at the Eastern Partnership summit in
the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius in November. It will take effect
after it is ratified by all EU countries.
The talks on a free trade agreement are to be concluded at the summit
as well.
