"I believe, there is no single agreement in the world that answers to all possible questions and covers all possible issues. But this is the basis, this is the start of relations. Of course there are many remaining issues and we can continue discussion regarding all issues. We can continue exploring new possibilities of cooperation. It is just a start.”
