/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "I have been a member of government for many
years and can't recollect any case of political pressure exerted by
the United States. Our relations are dynamically developing. The
U.S. renders us serious economic aid," RA Prime Minister Serge
Sargsyan said. During many years Armenia received more assistance
than any other state and comes behind Israel only, he added. "Besides,
the U.S. help to implement major projects targeted at improvement of
infrastructure. I want to emphasize that Armenia will never gamble on
discrepancies between Russia and the U.S. The best variant for us is
cooperation between these two super powers. Our 15-year experience
of state system proves the correctness of such approach," Serge
Sargsyan said.
When asked to comment on actuality of SCO and EurAsEC projects the RA
PM said, "Armenia treats these projects seriously. But the republic
is a member of the WTO and has certain obligations. Unfortunately,
the regulations of the above mentioned organizations contain some
provisions conflicting with our obligations. We are acting as observers
and wait for further developments. I mean Russia's possible joining
the WTO. Then the regulations may be changed and combined membership
will become possible," he said, Nezavisimaya Gazeta reports.
