Decision on Ukraine’s presidency in OSCE in 2013 is an important one for all eastern European countries, as well as for institutional development of the organization, Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said in an interview with Image.ua magazine.

The decision confirmed all OSCE member states are equal, especially in the context of recent presidency assumed by Kazakhstan and Lithuania.

“There were a lot of speculations over Kazakhstan’s presidency but Nazarbayev’s team coped with the task and organized a summit for the first time over recent 10 years,” President stressed.

“I am confident that Ukraine has all the necessary professional, expert, financial, technical and other resources to carry out this mission,” said President Sargsyan. According to him, experience of work in OSCE was accumulated over the recent 20 years.  

“Armenia has always been active in this platform and never missed an opportunity to express and defend its positions. We will definitely continue this course,” said the Armenian leader.
