May 11, 2001 - 01:16 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - YEREVAN, May 10. /Mediamax/. President of Armenia Robert Kocharian said today, speaking at "Armenia Investor Conference 2001" business forum in New York, that given the positive trends in resolving the Karabakh conflict, the obstacle of Armenia's unimpeded communications, caused by the blockade by Turkey and Azerbaijan, will soon be removed.

At the same time, Robert Kocharian said, we have not been waiting for the blockades to be lifted. "With the effective use of alternative transportation and energy supply routes Armenia has substantially minimised the implications of the blockade," he stressed.

As the special correspondent of Mediamax reports from New York, Armenian President expressed confidence that the promotion of regional cooperation establishes strong bases for peace and stability in the region. The President noted that Armenia "welcomes the support and engagement of the OSCE, the EU, the US and others" in that process. --0--
