Armenia will never gamble on discrepancies between Russia and U.S.

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.
