WARSAW, SEPTEMBER 7, ARMENPRESS: Armenian-Polish negotiations
in Warsaw were wrapped up on Monday by sealing four documents
encompassing military defense, crackdown on organized crime and
economic cooperation. Speaking to a joint news conference the visiting
Armenian president Robert Kocharian and his Polish opposite number
Alexander Kwasniewski reconfirmed the two countries’ readiness to
enlarge bilateral cooperation.

Kwasniewski said political relations between the two nations were
on excellent level and what remained to do was to boost trade and
economic contacts, which he said were lagging behind.

for reciprocal investments are the available prerequisites for Polish
and Armenian businessmen to activate ties.

the conflict over Nagorno Karabagh in a peaceful way.

The two presidents also discussed the situation in the North Caucasus
and particularly in North Ossetian Beslan, emphasizing the need for
combined efforts to fight terrorism.
