/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Ukraine is interested in developing economic and
political relations with Armenia, Ukraine’s Ambassador to RA said.

"Although the crisis resulted in 30% reduction of trade between Armenia
and Ukraine, both countries are hopeful that the upcoming meeting of
the Armenian-Ukrainian commission will give an impetus to bilateral
relations," Alexander Bozhko told a news conference in Yerevan.

Ambassador Bozhko also emphasized that Ukraine hailed the signing of
protocols on normalization of Armenian-Turkish relations.

Asked by a PanARMENIAN.Net about the GUAM activity, he said that
each country in the bloc has its own interests. "Ukraine maintains
friendly relations with Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan. We also
offered Armenia an observer status in the organization."

The Ambassador said that presently "the bloc prioritizes economic
relations and approaches may change in the future."
