The relations between Greece and Armenia are developing very well and are on a very high level, Armenian Ambassador to Greece Tigran Mkrtchyan has said.
“The relations between Greece and Armenia are developing very well and are on a very high level. We are advancing our relations in defense cooperation. Culture and education have also become very important sectors of our cooperation,” the ambassador said in an interview with Thessalia TV.
“This summer, we had the visit of the Minister of Education, Science, Culture, and Sports of Armenia to Greece by invitation of the Minister of Culture of Greece, Madam Mendoni. Our minister also had a meeting with the Minister of Education and Religious Affairs, Ms. Zacharaki. Five agreements were signed during this visit — which is, in a way, unprecedented.
So, along with defense cooperation, political dialogue is also very active. Our foreign ministers and prime ministers meet regularly, both in Athens and in other capitals. Next year, when Yerevan hosts the European Political Community Summit, Prime Minister Mitsotakis will hopefully have a chance to come to Armenia. This will be another impetus to advance our relations,” the Armenian ambassador said.
He added that high-level visits are being planned: “We are planning high-level visits — before the end of this year, we will most probably have a visit of the President of the National Assembly of Armenia to Greece, and then early next year another high-level visit, which will be clear by time.”
