    Armenia's independence day celebrated


    Damascus, SANA, Armenian ambassador in Damascus Arshak Poladian held
    Thursday a reception on the 23rd anniversary of his country's
    independence.

    "Armenian Independence Declaration of 1991 was the only choice of the
    Armenian people, who have for ages the sovereignty over their historic
    lands, and it came as a response to Armenian people's will and ability
    to take their own decisions and draw their future", Ambassador
    Poladian said.

    Poladian highlighted the solid basis for historic and friendly
    Armenian-Syrian relations were built on and the developments these
    relations witnessed in different fields particularly when they were
    crowned with the visits of senior officials from both countries,
    affirming his country's will to promote these bilateral relations to
    the highest levels.

    Armenia is being following up the crisis development in Syria,
    expressing his country's welcome to any initiative that restores
    stability and security to Syria, the ambassador added.

    Ambassador Poladian expressed hope over returning normal life to Syria
    to be able playing its pivotal regional and international role.

    Syria and Armenia have developed close cooperation since 1991 and,
    during the last few years, these relations have witnessed remarkable
    improvement in political, economic, social and commercial domains.

    Exchanging visits by senior officials from both countries and the
    signature of several cooperation agreements, protocols and programs
    contributed to boosting the Syrian-Armenian relations, particularly,
    the historic visit of President Bashar al-Assad to Armenia in 2009 and
    his talks with the Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan and Prime
    Minister Tigran Sarkisian which further pushed forward joint
    cooperation.

    The inauguration of the Syrian-Armenian Businessmen Forum in Yerevan
    in 2009 constituted an important opportunity to explore cooperation
    and investment opportunities in tourism, technical, agricultural and
    banking sectors.

    The two countries maintained strong cultural ties which have been
    enhanced by the organization of cultural days and shows in Syria and
    Armenia, not to mention the Armenian cultural associations in Syria
    and the keenness of Damascus University on teaching the Armenian
    Language at the Higher Institute of Languages.
