Armenia and Poland stand for deepening relations

PanARMENIAN.Net - "In the course of 15 years that passed since the establishment of diplomatic relations, both Poland and Armenia have endured events that changed political life of the states. After 1989 Poland focused on cooperation with the EU and NATO. It was a hard period but we have surmounted it. Poland's stance in the European Union implies energy policy and security and closer cooperation with the European structures for reformation of the Polish political system," Polish Foreign Minister Anna Fotyga said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net



"Armenia is forming a state and experiencing hard times now. Our countries managed to build a rational legal basis for cementing bilateral relations. Both understand that ties in political, economic and cultural fields should be deepened. Slight but sustainable growth of commodity turnover is observed presently. I would also like to mention that we are united by a new Diaspora in the EU and U.S. I mean not only the Armenian Diaspora, which plays a substantial role in the public and political life of our state, but also the Polish one. Our Diasporas are successfully contacting in the U.S. and EU. Poland is a friendly and hospitable state; our legislation is not so strict as in other EU member states. However, our capabilities are still limited. We cannot ensure perfect living conditions for immigrants and the problem of unemployment is pressing. We attach big importance to development of cultural ties between Poland and Armenia, since it will lead complete mutual understanding between our peoples," she said.
