    As part of its objectives of strengthening collaboration between
    Armenia and Greece, and fulfilling the decision of the Hellenic -
    Armenian Joint Intergovernmental Commission, the Greek Embassy and
    HayPost will hold a special celebration on Friday, November 14.

    The Greek Chargé d'Affaires, Mr. Alekos Ikonomopoulos in collaboration
    with HayPost, will be welcoming special Armenian and international
    guests to the Embassy for a special cultural program.

    To symbolize the long-standing relationship between the two nations,
    HayPost and ELTA (Hellenic Post) will be issuing a joint Armenian-Greek
    stamp simultaneously in Yerevan and in Athens. This joint-stamp will
    be issued and circulated during the Armenian-Greek event on Friday.

    This joint issue represents the famous statues of Goddesses Aphrodite
    and Anahit - the primarily female goddesses in both nations' mythology.

    "We are very proud and excited that HayPost has played a primary role
    in substantiating the friendship between these two ancient nations,"
    stated Hans Boon, Director General of HayPost. "We trust that this
    joint issue encourages not only political and business collaborations,
    but encourages the general public to appreciate this as well."

    The Greek Chargé d'Affaires, Mr. Ikonomopoulos expressed his
    satisfaction for the existing exceptional bilateral relations between
    Armenia and Greece, and praised the contribution of Hellenic Post
    and HayPost for underlying the secular historical ties between the
    two nations.

    As of January 2007, the government transferred to HayPost CJSC the
    exclusive right to issue postal stamps in Armenia, as the official
    national postal operator in Armenia.
