This is a very good chance to somehow summarize the results and outline our further work. Turkmenistan is a reliable partner, and we are interested in to actively develop the relations between our states, and all opportunities exist for that.

“On behalf of the delegation of Turkmenistan I would like to thank you for the warm reception, and as you said, this year, and more precisely on October 9, marks the 25th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations. I would like to state that over these years many works have been carried out between Turkmenistan and Armenia in terms of developing political, commercial and cultural-humanitarian ties. The most important, which you mentioned, is that this visit gives new impetus to our mutual partnership and reveals new opportunities and prospect for the development of mutual ties.

Of course, all these are for the welfare of our peoples. I would like to highlight also foreign policy affairs over which we are always grateful to you. You always assist on issues relating to out status of neutrality. The issues proposed by us at international platforms which are, of course, general issues, for instance, the establishment of stability and security in the world, issues of energy security, stable transportations and transportation corridors development, particularly when UN respective resolutions have been adopted over them, we will transform to other famous international structures – OSCE, CIS and etc. That’s why we act correctly by constantly holding consultations between our foreign ministries over these issues. It’s necessary to continue them.

Today Turkmenistan has a great potential in trade-economic field. You also have similar potential. I think we can utilize it at various directions. Of course, those are first of all issues relating to trade, energy, agriculture, textile industry, healthcare, as well as a number of other fields. Of course, here the main burden lies on our Intergovernmental Commission on Economic Cooperation which must be the main coordinator between our countries. In terms of humanitarian ties, a lot unites us. Our relations come from the Middle Ages. It’s welcoming that today we continue them and serve as example for future generations of our countries. Once again I would like to express my gratitude for your invitation and by using this chance I wish success to your state activity, prosperity and good luck to the entire people of Armenia”, the President of Turkmenistan said.
