YEREVAN. – Uruguay and Armenia are working on various issues of international agenda, Uruguay Vice President Danilo Astori said during a joint press conference with Armenian parliament speaker Galust Sahakyan.

According to him, on many aspects the positions of two countries are the same because they both build the policy based on highest human values.

Asked whether Armenia can respond to Uruguay for the latter's continued support in the international arena (Uruguay is the world's first state that recognized the Armenian Genocide – ed.), Astori said that Armenia supports the candidacy of Uruguay as a temporary member of UN Security Council in 2016-17.

Uruguay, in turn, supports the candidacy of Armenia for 2032-33.
