YEREVAN. – If the South Caucasus sector of the Silk Road crosses through Armenia, this will open good prospects for the country’s development, analyst Naira Mkrtchyan said at a press conference on Monday.

Reflecting on President Serzh Sargsyan’s recent state visit to China, the analyst noted that the Silk Road economic zone holds good prospects for the development of the country.

“And it’s very good that Armenia has expresses readiness to definitely join this project, since it has been the Silk Road’s important transit point for centuries, and in the 21st century, it will be good if it can restore this position of its in the region,” Mkrtchyan noted.

In her words, the Armenian-Chinese relations have risen to a new level of cooperation.

“Armenia is becoming China’s important partner in the South Caucasus,” Naira Mkrtchyan stressed. “Since Armenia is an EEU [i.e. Russia-led Eurasian Economic Union] member, the Silk Road is completely compatible with the economic processes from this viewpoint, and it can have a strategic importance for the country.”
