Superpower Interests Meet in Armenia, Rather Than Clash

Armenia inherited quite a rich and historical relation and cultural exchange, in addition to the common interests that Yerevan and Moscow have improved for decades, or even for hundreds of years, Armenian President Robert Kocharian stated in an interview to Al Jazeera TV company. “Today, we are preserving this inheritance and using it to further our common interests. Until today, we have succeeded in maintaining this relation. We have excellent relations with Russia in the economic and military sectors, as we have very good relations with Iran. We are also developing our relations with the European Union since we were admitted to the EU Neighborhood program and now we are trying to implement the requirements of that program. In addition, our relations with the USA are very special especially because of the aid that Armenia receives from the USA and we were included in the 3rd Millennium Program, which is helping Armenia develop economically. We maintained the relations we already had and developed them without creating any disagreement between the nations and their interests. We work with the belief that all the interests of the powerful countries meet in Armenia, rather than clash, and we try to avoid any step that could be considered a danger to the security of our partners.”, reported Groong.
