New borders of traditional cooperation

view-icon 1245
The two-day official visit of President of Turkmenistan Gurbangily Berdimuhamedov to the Republic of Armenia has started on November 29. The visit paid at the invitation of the President of Armenia has fallen on the year of the 20th anniversary of establishing the Turkmen-Armenian diplomatic relations.

The modern history of cooperation between Turkmenistan and Armenia is characterized by the significant intensification of the intergovernmental dialogue. The warm confidential relations established between the heads of the two states play a crucial role in this positive process. Important agreements achieved during the official visit of the President of the Republic of Armenia to Turkmenistan in November, 2010 offered a powerful incentive to development of the bilateral relations.

It is expected that a solid package of documents aimed at laying a reliable legal basis and creating favourable conditions for efficient cooperation will be signed during this visit. The main topic for discussions within the framework of the top level talks will be the opportunities for enhancing cooperation in such spheres as trading, economy, fuel and energy sector, chemical industry, transport, communications, agriculture, sports, tourism, etc.

The Intergovernmental Turkmen-Armenian Commission on the economic cooperation, regular consultations of the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of the two countries and negotiations between the representatives of various ministries and departments of Turkmenistan and Armenia create favourable conditions for enhancing the partnership. It is notable that bilateral meetings between the members of the governmental delegation of Turkmenistan and the heads of ministries and departments of the friendly country took place on the eve of the official visit of the President of Turkmenistan to Erevan.

There are all reasons to predicate that the forthcoming meeting of President Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov and President Serzh Sargsyan will be a powerful catalyst of the Turkmen-Armenian relations.
