Armenia is not going to be co-operating with one country to the detriment of other countries, Prime Minister of Armenia Karen Karapetyan said in an interview with fdiintelligence.com.

''The size of our country and our neighbouring countries brings us to the idea that we really need to focus on stimulating regional co-operation. From that perspective, I think that regional co-operation will open new opportunities for our businesses,'' he stated.

According to Karapetyan, Armenians need to convince everyone that they are a very tolerant nation, ''though everyone knows us as a party to a conflict [a border dispute with Azerbaijan].''

''I think our lifestyle is proof of that, since about three-quarters of our nation is living abroad and serve as law-abiding citizens of other countries. We have suffered enough from wars to be very sensitive about the value of peace and we are very concerned about our security,'' he said.
