Yerevan, 22 March: Armenia has always followed with sympathy and
expressed its support for the process of reuniting the Chinese
people within the borders of one fatherland and restoring historical
justice. Armenia’s position on the recognition of one China was
wholly expressed in the joint declaration signed by the presidents
of the two countries in September 2004, the press secretary of the
Armenian Foreign Ministry, Gamlet Gasparyan, said while presenting at
the request of the media Armenia’s position on the anti-secession law
adopted by the Chinese parliament last week, which presents China’s
approach to the settlement of the Taiwan problem.

Gasparyan expressed his hope that the efforts made to reunite the
Chinese people, including the adoption of the anti-secession law by
the Chinese parliament will be effective and will open an opportunity
to continue negotiations within the framework of the peace process.
