ArmInfo. Implementation of energy programmes is a major priority
for Armenia, deputy Foreign Minister of Armenia Shavarsh Kocharyan
said at the international conference "Armenia on the Intersection of
Communications" in Tsakhkadzor.

‘Communications play an important part in our difficult region. At
the same time, it remains attractive for investments and
cooperation. Attempts are currently made to isolate Armenia from
such regional projects, however, even in case of isolation, Armenia
is able to export electric power to the neighbouring countries. This
is possible due to the cooperation with Russia and implementation of
programmes with Iran’, Kocharyan emphasized.

At the same time, he said, the role and mission of Armenia is possibly
in contribution to the dialogue of civilizations, as the future is
not a collision of civilizations but a dialogue.

‘We consider Russia as a civilized and self-sufficient country,
and the point for us is to respect the choice of each country. This
concerns not only Russia but all our partners as well. Naturally,
this respect means reciprocity and mutuality’, S. Kocharyan resumed.
