/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenia inherited quite a rich and historical
relation and cultural exchange, in addition to the common interests
that Yerevan and Moscow have improved for decades, or even for hundreds
of years, Armenian President Robert Kocharian stated in an interview
to Al Jazeera TV company. "Today, we are preserving this inheritance
and using it to further our common interests. Until today, we have
succeeded in maintaining this relation. We have excellent relations
with Russia in the economic and military sectors, as we have very
good relations with Iran. We are also developing our relations with
the European Union since we were admitted to the EU Neighborhood
program and now we are trying to implement the requirements of that
program. In addition, our relations with the USA are very special
especially because of the aid that Armenia receives from the USA and we
were included in the 3rd Millennium Program, which is helping Armenia
develop economically. We maintained the relations we already had and
developed them without creating any disagreement between the nations
and their interests. We work with the belief that all the interests
of the powerful countries meet in Armenia, rather than clash, and
we try to avoid any step that could be considered a danger to the
security of our partners."
