Armenia is ready to take part in regional projects being implemented
in the South Caucasus, Gagik Grigoryan, the national secretary in
Armenia for the Transport Corridor Europe-Caucasus-Asia (TRACECA),
has said, as quoted by the private Azerbaijani TV station ANS.
Grigoryan was visiting the Azerbaijani capital Baku on 4 December
to attend a ministerial conference of the TRACECA Intergovernmental
Commission.
"When the transport corridor was being created within the framework of
the TRACECA programme we proposed reconstructing the transportation
system in the Caucasus. We are happy to take part in any project
and we have always wanted this. We want to integrate more into the
world economy and want to look forward from the viewpoint of regional
development. I think our region has a very developed infrastructure,
however, an effective use of it is more important. I would like to
thank the Azerbaijani government, the Transport Ministry and the
European Commission for enabling us to attend this conference. We
will try to make our contribution to this conference," ANS quoted
Grigoryan as saying.
