ARMENIAN AMBASSADOR IN UKRAINE PREDICTS GOOD RELATIONS WITH KIEV
KIEV, DECEMBER 28, ARMENPRESS: Armenian ambassador to Ukraine,
Armen Khachatrian, predicted good relations between his country and
the new leadership of Ukraine after Sunday re-run of presidential
elections in which the opposition candidate Viktor Yuschenko defeated
the acting prime minister Viktor Yanukovich. He said his prediction
was based on the fact that Armenia is too striving towards closer
relations with Europe.
"This (good relations with Ukraine) is real, as Ukraine is
likewise interested in Armenia," he said, citing growing trade
between the two countries. The ambassador acknowledged that the Union
of Ukrainian Armenians called on its members to vote for Yanukovich.
He also said that Armenia has to work a lot to bring political
relations with Ukraine on a new level in view of its defense of
Azerbaijan's position with regard to Karabagh conflict regulation.
"Ukrainians are very friendly towards the Armenian community and we
have to use its potential,' he said.
