ARMENIAN-AZERI TRADE

`There is lack of energetic recourses in Armenia, but here there is product
that azeris can be interested in’, said the USA ambassador in Armenia John
Evans concerning to the future expectations of Armenian-azeri economic
cooperation.

During NATO PA seminar the ambassador voiced the following opinion, ‘When
the economic situation improves, the conflict risks will reduce’.

J. Evans also talked about the USA policy in Armenia. According to him there
are three directions. `Firstly, we are anxious for security and stability
consolidation. Here the assistance of Yerevan and Baku is very important for
the conflict resolution in Nagorno Karabakh. The second direction is, that
we want the strengthening of economics not only in Armenia but also in three
countries of South Caucasus. The last one is, to strengthen the democratic
institutions. I think at least in Armenia we have invested huge recourses in
this field’,- added Mr. Evans. /Panorama.am/
