Armenian-Slovak relations potential not used in full
The Armenian-Slovak political dialogue is on a rather high level. These relations have a high development potential but they are not fully used, saidAshot Grigoryan, head of Armenian community in Slovakia, the chairman of the Forum of Armenian Unions of Europe (FAUE) at the press-conference in Yerevan to a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter. "Yerevan and Bratislava are unique partners. Slovakia has always supported Armenia in International Organizations. In 2004 the Parliament of this country recognized the Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire despite the fears that the relations with Turkey may change for the worse," mentioned Ashot Grigoryan.

"Now Slovakia and FAUE are considering the import program on modern technologies with Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh. Slovakia plans to issue a loan for the construction of two hydroelectric power stations in Nagorno Karabakh," Ashot Grigoryan informed.
