There are many perspectives in financial cooperation between Armenia
and Latvia, we only need to concretize them and make first steps
towards the realization, President of Armenia Robert Kocharyan said
on a business forum of the two countries.
As a REGNUM correspondent reports, according to Kocharyan, to develop
partnership between the two countries, at first a solid legal and
negotiation system should be established. "The second principal
element is the predictability of both countries. There is no such
problem currently. After obtaining independence, Armenia has been
heading towards serious economical growth. Third, we need a healthy
competition. And the last factor is safety. Many crimes such as racket
have been successfully exterminated," said president of Armenia. The
main problems, according to him, are lack of information and
contacts. However, the new EU policy "Extended Europe: New Neighbors"
will provide both countries with needed partnership possibilities.
In her turn, Latvian President Vaira Vike-Freiberga informed,
that during her visit to Armenia, many documents important for
future negotiations have been signed. "We're impressed by Armenia's
economic growth and hope that it will continue for the good of both
our countries", said Vaira Vike-Freiberga.
During the forum, Latvian finance minister Krisjanis Karins noted,
that the Latvian side was interested in direct flights between Riga
and Yerevan. In his turn, Kocharyan said that this could be one of the
components of business and tourism development. The only discussable
question now is the visa question. The Latvian side hopes that it
could be settled by establishing an Armenian embassy in Latvia that
will happen in the near future.
