    President Sargsyan expressed confidence that his visit would become
    a strong impetus for cooperation. "Wrestling is one of traditionally
    renowned and successful sports in Armenia which is today also gets
    due attention, even though, as in all other cases, we would like
    of course to see better results," the President of Armenia said and
    added, "our National Olympic Committee, the Ministry for Sport, and
    the Wrestling Federation are trying to invite even more attention
    to this sport. We want more children to get engaged in the sport
    of wrestling; towards that end we improve conditions, and strive
    to organize international contests in Armenia since all this will
    eventually bring the desired results.

    The President of Wrestling Federation said that he has been in
    wrestling for over thirty years and has always been following the
    performances of the Armenian athletes, who have achieved impressive
    results, and he knows personally the most recent Armenian champions.

    Rafael Martinetti said that the possibility of establishing a school
    of wrestling in Yerevan was discussed during his meetings, because
    Armenia has produced a number of excellent coaches of wrestling. "The
    future of this sport in Armenia is in reliable hands," stressed
    Rafael Martinetti.

    The two sides discussed also the possibility of conducting the 2010
    World Championship of Greco-Roman wrestling in Armenia. President
    Sargsyan said that we were interested in organizing international
    events of this magnitude in our country and would do our best to
    conduct it on the highest level. "It is will be a celebration for
    the Armenian fans of wrestling, for the young athletes who will
    have the opportunity to see many celebrated athletes and watch their
    performance," the President of Armenia noted.

    Rafael Martinetti also said that he was following closely the
    Armenian-Turkish process of normalization. "As a Swiss national,
    I am glad that my country has been able to facilitate the process,"
    said Mr. Martinetti.
