British decision to leave EU should be respected, Germany's Steinmeier says

"We should respect (Britain's) choice," Steinmeier told a news conference in the Armenian capital of Yerevan, his first stop during a three-day tour in the South Caucasus countries.

"I hope we won't fall into a long process of distrust ... " he said, adding that all the EU's members should agree a common position.
