ArmInfo. The Armenian-Bulgarian economic cooperation has great
potential, President of Bulgaria Gheorgi Pirvanov said today at the
opening ceremony of the Armenian-Bulgarian business-forum in Sophia,
ArmInfo special correspondent reported from Sophia.

‘We have got a wide basis for that, in particular, common historical
past, which is the key idea in the context of potential of the
economic relations development between Bulgaria and Armenia’, – the
president said. He also added it is very much important to establish
the political dialogue at all the levels of executive power, including
the presidents, governments and even local power bodies. ‘This cannot
but affect business. I would like to emphasize that Armenian-Bulgarian
relations have stronger basis than the relations of Bulgaria with
other European states.’, – Bulgarian president said. At the same time
he added that Armenian-Bulgarian economic relations lag behind the
political ones because of several reasons the main of which is bad
transport communication between the two states. The president hopes
that Armenian-Turkish talks will succeed.
