In 2004 an active dialogue was launched between Armenia and
Switzerland, and in this regard the Foreign Ministers of the two
countries highly assessed the relations between the states.

“I introduced the Minister to the latest developments in the
negotiations over Nagorno-Karabakh after the meetings in Ramboulliet
and Bucharest. We discussed Armenia-Turkey relation. As you may
know, Switzerland is interested in seeing the relations between the
two countries improved and is ready to promote the normalization of
these relations. We discussed also our relations within international
organizations, particularly the UN. We are confident that this visit
will be another impetus for further development and deepening of
bilateral relations,” said RA Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan during
his joint press conference with the Foreign Minister of Switzerland
Micheline Calmy-Rey.

Unlike the normal political relations, the cooperation in the sphere
of economy is not perfect, the two Foreign Ministers noted. It is
not accidental that they signed today an agreement on exemption from
dual taxation.

During the current visit an emphasis was put on development of economic
cooperation. Moreover, the delegation headed by RA Ministry of Trade
and Economic Development is currently in Zurich to participate in
a business forum. The Swiss Foreign Minister characterized economic
cooperation between the two countries as modest.
