    Today, President Serzh Sargsyan received the Minister of State at the
    Foreign Office of the Federal Republic of Germany Gernot Erler, the
    Chairman of the Germany -South Caucasus Bundestag Friendship Group,
    Steffen Raikhe, and the Ambassador of Germany to Armenia Ms. Andrea
    Joana-Maria Wiktorin.

    The President of Armenia emphasized the importance of developing
    further bilateral and multilateral relations with Germany - one of
    Europe's leading countries. Expressing gratitude for the assistance
    provided to our country from the first days of our independence, Serzh
    Sargsyan noted with satisfaction that in the area of cooperation for
    development Germany is Armenia's second largest donor country as well
    as one of our major trading partners.

    According to Gernot Erler, his visit speaks of great interest that
    Germany places toward the processes taking place in the South Caucasus
    region, particularly after the last August events. Stressing the
    unacceptability of solving contentious issues through military means,
    he said that Germany was unyieldingly against the use of force and
    violence.

    The President of Armenia and the high-level official of the German
    Foreign Office discussed in detail the current stage of the NK
    peace process, as well as the opportunities of normalizing the
    Armenian-Turkish relations.

    The German State Minister said that his country welcomes the meetings
    between the Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan and the political
    dialogue between Armenia and Turkey.

    The parties spoke also about the EU Eastern Partnership
    initiative. President Sargsyan said that the program opens new
    opportunities for cooperation, and that the Armenian side was intended
    to utilize them to the greatest possible extend.

    The two sides talked also about democratic reforms in Armenia.
