    YEREVAN.- Since the first days of their arrival, Armenians have become
    an integral part of Uruguay's society, Speaker of Uruguay's House of
    Representatives Jorge Orrico said during the meeting with Armenian
    students on Saturday.

    `Armenian immigrants came to Uruguay mainly after 1915. Excuse me for
    saying this but Armenians lost their fear in Uruguay. The things they
    saw leaving their country, cannot repeat in Uruguay. Armenians
    integrated successfully,' Orrico said in Yerevan.

    Asked about possible lifting of visa regime between the states,
    Uruguayan official said tourism brings about $2 billion annually. The
    Minister of Tourism is Lilian Kechichian, Armenian by origin
    `therefore, I think all the possible problems will be solved easily,'
    he emphasized.

    Armenians are members of all Uruguay's political parties, they have an
    active role in culture and economy.
