    Alexander Bozhko believes that Armenian-Ukrainian relations will
    continue developing.

    "First of all, we attach importance to economic ties in our relations
    with Armenia. In 2005, the trade turnover between our countries
    totaled $118mln, while in 2008 it reached $130mln. Unfortunately,
    30-40% drop was recorded as a result of the crisis. Currently, we
    are trying to eliminate its consequences," the Ukrainian Ambassador
    to Armenia told a press conference in Yerevan today.

    Referring to Ukraine's participation in GUAM, Alexander Bozhko stressed
    that the country's membership in the organization does not prevent
    it from building equal relations with Armenia and Azerbaijan.

    Ukrainian Foreign Minister Konstyantyn Gryshchenko will visit Armenia
    in August to hold talks on regional and international issues, Alexander
    Bozhko informed.

    Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan also intends to visit Ukraine that
    testifies to warm relationship between the two countries, he said.

    According to recent data, over 300, 000 Armenians reside in Ukraine,
    as compared with 30,000 in the beginning of 1990s, the Ambassador
    noted, adding that the number of Armenian residents is increasing.

    He also stressed that he will spare no efforts for Ukrainians to get
    direct information about Armenia and its history.
