National Assembly of RA, Armenia
Dec 7 2007
Greek Ambassador in the National Assembly
The President of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia Mr.
Tigran Torosyan received the newly appointed Ambassador of Greece in
Armenia Mr. Ioannis Korintios on December 6.
Congratulating the Ambassador for his appointment the President of
National Assembly expressed confidence that Mr. Korentios will
promote with his activity the deepening of relationship between the
two nations and states. Reminding him about the visit of the
President Mr. Karolias Papoulias to Armenia several months ago, Mr.
Torosyan noted that it was like an occasion to record once again the
existence of the relations and new perspectives and opportunities at
high level, which were created due to economic development. The
President of National Assembly said that in the fourth convocation of
the National Assembly a parliamentary friendship group with Greek
parliament had already been set up. According to Mr. Torosyan, the
development of inter-parliamentary relations could be an important
part of the development in the political, cultural and defence
spheres, and for that concrete projects should be improved, which
should be based on the proposals of the two parliaments. The
President of the National Assembly noted that the parliamentary
delegations of the two countries co-operated in international
structures in a good way, mentioning also the European Parliament
where Greece has a delegation, but Armenia has not. He expressed
willingness to support the activity of the Ambassador in Armenia.
The Greek Ambassador to Armenia Mr. Ioannis Korintios noted that the
appointment in Armenia was a great honour for him, and he has a goal
to contribute to the development of historically formed friendly
relations. The Ambassador, who is well aware of the procedure of the
inter-parliamentary relations, expressed readiness to convey the
proposals of the President of the National Assembly, and he is sure
that he will have a rapid response from the parliament of Greece, as
his country has a great interest in the development of the relations
with Armenia and he is impressed of the great political and economic
successes of Armenia. At his request the President of the National
Assembly of Armenia informed him about the legislative activity of
the parliament highlighting the importance of holding the upcoming
presidential elections with democratic standards for the provision of
legislative bases of which the National Assembly adopted the improved
Electoral Code.
Both sides emphasized the successful holding of presidential
elections which will promote the deepening of Euro integration and,
as Mr. Korintios said, the deepening of Armenia-European Union
relations.
At the meeting other issues were also discussed.
