Estonian leader backs democratic processes in Armenia

Yerevan, 17 November: “During my talks with Armenian President Robert
Kocharyan, Armenian Speaker Artur Bagdasaryan and Prime Minister
Andranik Markaryan, among other issues we discussed the issue of
using Estonia’s experience of European integration,” Estonian
President Arnold Ruutel said in an interview with Armenian Public TV.

He said that Estonia actively supports Armenia in speeding up
democratic processes in the country. Undoubtedly, the democratic
processes will also speed up Armenia’s economic development, for
which there are all the necessary conditions.

Friendly relations between the Armenian and Estonian people would
also serve as a good basis for successful cooperation, the Estonian
president stressed.
