ArmInfo. ‘First of all, the presumption was that it is the time
to conduct a civilized dialogue with the Turks. It is incorrect to
have close borders and hostile relations with neighbours in the 21st
century. I hope it will succeed to establish diplomatic relations
and open the border in the near future’, President of Armenia Serzh
Sargsyan said in an interview with "Russia" TV channel when speaking
about the prospect of the Armenian-Turkish relations.

Touching on the problem of overcoming of the global economic crisis
by Armenia, S. Sargsyan emphasized that the country’s authorities
try to support the competitive enterprises which are able to
keep further working with profit in case they receive the relevant
assistance. According to the president, Armenia, first of ll, counts
on its own forces and, of course, on assistance of the friends. ‘The
overwhelming majority of Armenia’s citizens think we are tied up with
Russia by thousand of threads and that Russia is a strategic partner
and friend of us. This has been fixed legally and is confirmed by
everyday life’, S. Sargsyan said. To note, the First channel of the
Russian TV placed a reporting on the air dedicated to the results of
the first year of Serzh Sargsyan’s work as a president of Armenia.
