Armenia, Turkmenistan Agree On Closer Ties

President Serzh Sarkisian and his visiting Turkmen counterpart, Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, presided over the signing of Turkmen-Armenian agreements on economic cooperation, seismic defense and air communication. A joint communiqué issued by the two leaders stressed the need to "stimulate bilateral relations" through greater trade, investment and cultural exchanges.

"We underlined that Armenian-Turkmen relations have a much greater potential, the realization of which undoubtedly corresponds to the interests of friendship between the peoples of our countries," Sarkisian told a joint news conference.
