Armenia seeks for relations with Russia, US, EU, Georgia, Iran

`We wish for deepening of relations with Russia as well as with U.S.,
the EU, Georgia, and Iran,’ said Armenia’s Foreign Minister Edward
Nalbandian in his interview with Armenian Public Television. He
pointed that in Armenian government’s interest is to solve all
disagreements with partners. `We are interested in solving of all
existing disagreements, and, standing from this position, we will move
forward,’ said Minister Nalbandian.

When asked whether Armenia is ready to mediate any talks, Edward
Nalbandian said: `One shouldn’t stretch the truth of real capabilities
of Armenia; however, sometimes Armenia plays role of a mediator. As in
talks on the Upper Lars checkpoint’s opening, which successfully were
held with Armenia’s mediation and resulted in a big hand. And now,
when the checkpoint has opened, we can openly state that this was our
big time, this was a success of Russia, Georgia, and Armenia.’
