    UKRAINE'S AMBASSADOR SAYS ECONOMIC RELATIONS WITH ARMENIA ARE 'SUCCESSFUL

    YEREVAN, February 2. / ARKA /. Ukraine's ambassador to Armenia,
    Ivan Kukhta, has praised today his country's economic relations with
    Armenia describing them as 'successful.'

    Speaking to reporters he said the countries did not have high-level
    political contacts last year focusing instead of enhancing their
    economic relations, however, the bilateral trade fell last year to
    $223 million.

    He said Ukraine respects Armenia's decision to join the Russia-led
    Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) and despite the fact that Ukraine
    signed an Association Agreement with the European Union, the economic
    relations between the two countries continue to develop.

    "I met last year with many government officials and businessmen in both
    countries and can state that both Ukraine and Armenia are interested
    in the development of bilateral economic relations because it benefits
    all," said the ambassador.

    According to Kuhkta, despite some problems in bilateral political
    relations, caused by Armenia's vote against a UN resolution on
    Ukraine's territorial integrity, cultural and humanitarian ties were
    not affected.

    On March 27 Armenia voted against a UN resolution reaffirming Ukraine's
    territorial integrity and calling the referendum in Crimea that led
    to its annexation by Moscow illegal. The resolution was approved by
    a vote of 100 to 11, with 58 nations abstaining. Among the countries
    that also voted against the resolution were Belarus, Venezuela, Sudan,
    Syria, North Korea, Zimbabwe and Bolivia.

    Ukraine's government protested by withdrawing its ambassador to
    Armenia. The ambassador was sent back to Yerevan after Armenia
    recognized the presidential election in Ukraine.

    "The president of Armenia was one of the first to recognize the
    presidential election in Ukraine congratulating the new president on
    his victory,' said Kuhkta. -0-
