Preisdent of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan had a meeting with the
representatives of Armenian community in Belgium in the frames of
his working visit to Kingdom of Belgium.

In recent years Armenian diplomatic representative office has felt
the comprehensive support provided by the Armenian Community in
Belgium, said the President. "In this regard I would like to express
my gratitude to yo," he said.

Today Armenia is a dynamically developing country which has stable
financial system and developing economy. Armenia managed to meet
the challenges over local economy in the aftermath of South Ossetian
conflict. 70% of Armenian trade circulation is closely connected with
Georgia because of the lack of a way to the sea. Armenia also managed
to escape the strong wave of world financial crisis on native economy.

Regarding Armenian-Turkish relationship, the President said he believes
that relationship should be established between our countries. And
following this position the President of Turkey Mr. Abdullah Gul was
invited to Armenia in September.

In the basis of regulating relationship with Azerbaijan Nagorno
Karabakh conflict should be fixed. Armenia is ready to continue
peaceful negotiations based on OSCE Minsk Group Madrid principles. It
is remarkable that a few days earlier a Declaration was signed
between the Presidents of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia over NKR
conflict regulation.
