Level of Armenian-Kazakh political relations high

PanARMENIAN.Net - Absence of direct communication is the main obstacle for trade relations between Armenia and Kazakhstan, according to Kazakhstan's Charge d'Affaires in Armenia.



"The level of Armenian-Kazakh political relations is high, what is proved by regular presidential meetings and consultations between Foreign Ministries," Nurbolat Alimbayev told a news conference in Yerevan.



"Kazakhstan's foreign policy bases on pragmatism and balance. We enjoy good relations with neighboring superpowers - Russia and China. Like Armenia, Kazakhstan is a member of the Collective Security Treaty Organization," he said.



"According to official data, the Armenian community of Kazakhstan numbers 25 thousand. Actually, there are much more Armenians living in our country, along with people of over 100 nationalities. At that, our government managed to avoid inter-ethnic and religious conflicts," Alimbayev added.
