Belarusian Ambassador
11:36, 21 September, 2013
YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 21, ARMENPRESS: The relations between the Republic
of Armenia and Belarus are actively developing. The Armenpress
correspondent talked to the Ambassador Extraordinary and
Plenipotentiary of Belarus to the Republic of Armenia Stepan
Sukharenko about the bilateral commercial and economic relations and
the possible impact of the Armenia's membership in the Customs Union
on the indicators.
- Mr. Ambassador, the volumes of the trade turnover between Armenia
and Belarus does not exceed $30 million. Are you satisfied with the
current level of the bilateral commercial and economic relations?
- I think, nobody is satisfied with them, especially after the world
crisis. Concerning the Armenian-Belarusian commercial and economic
relations, I should say that they are developing quite actively but
still do not reach the high level of the political dialogue between
our countries and our presidents. Today we are actively developing and
hope that in the nearest future we could improve the commercial and
economic relations.
- Will the membership of Armenia in the Customs Union contribute to
the improvement of the Armenian-Belarusian commercial and economic
indicators?
- Certainly, yes. Undoubtedly, all this will be beneficial for the
economy of Armenia. Today the economists estimate a growth of the GDP
of Armenia by 5-7% due to the joining the Customs Union. Surely it
will have its impact not only in general but also on the ordinary
citizen of the Republic of Armenia in particular. (THE FULL INTERVIEW
