Iskandarian: Armenian president's visit to Moscow was `message'
`Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan's visit to Moscow was a `message'
and demonstrated the importance of Armenian-Russian strategic
relations to Yerevan,' Director of Caucasus Institute, political
scientist Alexander Iskandarian said at the meeting with reporters
today.
According to him, the price of natural gas supplied to Armenia was
discussed at the meeting. Iskandarian expressed an opinion that the
prices will increase, but remain acceptable to the Armenian side.
`Armenia continues implementing a consistent foreign policy and the
Armenian-Russian relationship has positive dynamics,' Iskandarian
stated.
In his words, Armenia has managed to keep the traditional directions
of its foreign policy. `We have maintained good-neighborly ties with
Russia and at the same time deepened relations with the European
Union, which can be considered a serious achievement,' he stressed.
The political scientist said Armenia is currently trying to find
common points of cooperation with the Customs Union, but Yerevan tries
to do it without hindering the negotiations on the establishment of a
deep and comprehensive free trade zone with the EU, which is quite
difficult.
`We should wait and see how successful these actions will be,' A.
Iskandarian said.
