Armenia considers it important to develop ties with Qatar and other Arab states, RA President Serzh Sargsyan said after receiving credentials of the newly appointed Qatari Ambassador Ibrahim Abdulrahman Al-Meghaiseeb.

The Armenian leader expressed hope that the new Ambassador’s work and the intergovernmental commission’s intensified activities will be a basis for efficient bilateral cooperation, the RA presidential press service informed NEWS.am.

Ambassador Al-Meghaiseeb stressed that Qatar is interested in investments in Armenia.

The sides also exchanged views on the Karabakh peace process. The RA President named unacceptable Azerbaijan’s attempts to present the conflict as a religious one. He regrets the fact that some Islamic states welcome Azerbaijan’s attempts.
