President, Foreign Minister of Ukraine to visit Armenia
Armenia and Ukraine have many projects of mutual interest, Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan told the Segodnya Ukrainian news center.
“We have a great potential to develop our relations. Over 60 Armenian-Ukrainian joint ventures function in Armenia but I think our potential is much larger. I have many Ukrainian friends, I have often been to different regions of Ukraine. Our relations date to early past,” Minister said.
According to Nalbandyan, a positive tendency of activization of visits is observed this year.
“Days of Armenian Culture will be held in Ukraine this year. I have invited my counterpart, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Konstantin Grishchenko to visit Yerevan. We expect him to arrive in November. You know that our President has twice visited Ukraine this year, and now we expect your President’s visit. We are always happy to welcome President Yanukovich in Armenia, he is one of our people’s best friends,” Nalbandyan declared.
He noted that 400 thousand Armenians live in Ukraine.
