Foreign Ministry Spokesman Hamlet Gasparian Responds to a Question by REGNUM
News Agency

Question: Please comment on the Ukrainian government crisis: is it possible
that the negative course of developments could affect the Ukrainian-Armenian
current political and economic co-operation?

Answer: We are carefully following the latest developments in Ukraine.
Armenia attaches great importance to the stability of Ukraine. We are
confident that President Yushchenko will promptly form a new government and
will overcome these temporary difficulties.

Armenian-Ukrainian relations are based on a centuries-old friendship and the
reciprocal confidence of our two nations. Today our bilateral relations are
developing dynamically. We are confident that the current developments in
Ukraine will not have any impact on our relations.
