YEREVAN, June 18. /ARKA/. On Wednesday, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, speaking at a joint press conference with his Syrian counterpart Bashar Asad, pointed out the necessity to spur Armenian-Syrian relations.
“The two nations’ friendship shows that not only dialogue between different religions, cultures and civilizations but also coexistence and mutual supplementation and enrichment are possible in the world”, Sargsyan said.
He said that coexistence implies peace and cooperation in investment, trade and economic areas.
The president also stressed the role of Armenian community in Syria in friendly relations between the two countries.
At the same time, he pointed out that the Armenians living in Syria play an important part in culture, politics and interstate relations, but they are not so active in investment and economy areas.
“Ground transportation links could contribute a great deal to development of economic relations, and we work to give such an opportunity to our entrepreneurs”, Sargsyan said though adding that this circumstance can’t justify sluggishness in economic relations.
He said that at the next meeting, the co-chairs of the intergovernmental commission will report about new agreements and trade turnover growth.
“Our capacity is great, and we should use it for out national interests”, Sargsyan said. -0-
