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.”
