Deputy Prime Minister of Armenia Armen Gevorgyan will lead the
Armenian delegation at the inauguration of new Ukrainian President
Petro Poroshenko, reports the Embassy of Ukraine in Armenia.
Earlier it was reported that the delegation would be led by Economy
Minister Karen Tchshmarityan. But today it was decided to replace
Tchshmarityan with Gevorgyan. As regards the Economy Minister
he may soon be appointed as Co-Chair of the Armenian-Ukrainian
Intergovernmental Commission on Trade and Economic Cooperation.
During last year's inauguration of Armenia's President Serzh Sargsyan
the Ukrainian delegation was led by Deputy Foreign Minister.
A few days ago Ambassador of Ukraine in Armenia Ivan Kukhta came back
to Armenia. He was called back to Kyiv after Armenia's decision to
support Crimea's referendum to secede from Ukraine.
Meanwhile, RBC quotes Head of Information Policy Department of
Ukraine's Foreign Ministry Yevgeny Perebiynis as saying that the
Ministry decided to send Kuhta back to Armenia when the Armenian
authorities congratulated Petro Poroshenko on his victory in the
election. "Armenia welcomed Poroshenko's victory and expressed hope
for constructive cooperation with Ukraine," Perebiynis said.
Poroshenko's inauguration is scheduled for June 7, with almost 20
foreign presidents and prime ministers having already confirmed their
intention to attend the ceremony.
Poroshenko won the election on May 25 with 54.7% of the votes.
