excellent relations `thanks to our energetic Ambassadors.'
`But, we are broadening our bilateral relationship to cover lots of
new things. Particularly building up the work that we do with Armenia
on economic development business and investment,' he told the Armenian

He noted that the sides have a lot more to talk to each other in terms
of the EU and Armenia's journey towards the European Union.

already has.' He added that they are not making those comparisons.

is something unique about this country.

interesting in itself. That is an example of why Armenia will fit in
very well to Europe and the European Union because EU is about a lot
of unique states,' the UK official emphasized.
