YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 26, NOYAN TAPAN. On February 26, RA President
Serzh Sargsyan received Markus Meckel, a member of German Bundestag
Foreign Relations Committee, deputy head of Bundestag delegation at
NATO Parliamentary Assembly, and Melanie Moltmann, Charge d’Affaires
of Germany to RA.

S. Sargsyan said that in the past years the Armenian-German relations
develop at new paces: in the sphere of cooperation of development
Germany is Armenia’s second donor country, as well as one of the
biggest trade and economic partners. According to S. Sargsyan,
German business has formed certain confidence to Armenia’s business
environment, and it is not accidental that at present 94 enterprises
with German capital function in Armenia. According to the results
of 2008, commodity circulation between the two countries amounted to
nearly 350m USD and German investments 250m USD.

According to M. Meckel, he is one of the Bundestag deputies, who
think that the European Union should carry out more active policy in
the South Caucasian region.
