    On December 2 the President of the National Assembly of the Republic
    of Armenia, Hovik Abrahamyan, received the Ambassador of the Republic
    of Bulgaria to Armenia Todor Staykov.

    During the meeting the interlocutors discussed issues related to
    the development of interparliamentary ties. The Armenian Parliament
    Speaker highly assessed the existing political dialogue, which became
    the continuation of the centuries-old friendship between Armenia
    and Bulgaria.

    The importance of economic ties was also emphasized. It was
    noted that an intergovernmental commission for trade-economic and
    scientific-technical cooperation was established in February 2008 for
    that purpose. Attaching great importance to the development of ties
    between the parliaments of the two countries, Mr. Abrahamyan asked
    to convey his invitation to the President of the National Assembly
    of Bulgaria Georgy Pirinsky.

    Hovik Abrahamyan stressed the importance of cooperation between the
    delegations of the two countries within international structures
    and the exchange of experience Bulgaria has accumulated on the way
    joining the European Union.

    Emphasizing the necessity of interparliamentary cooperation, the
    Ambassador of Bulgaria to Armenia Todor Staykkov noted that recurrent
    parliamentary elections are expected in Bulgaria in 2009.Nevertheless,
    whatever political force comes to power, the development of relations=2
    0 with the Armenian National Assembly will continue and an agreement
    on cooperation may be signed before the elections. According to the
    Ambassador's assessment, Armenia has traditionally been a friendly
    country for Bulgaria.

    During the meeting reference was made to a number of regional issues
    and questions of mutual interest.
