Armenian Ambassador had a meeting with Israeli president

YEREVAN, OCTOBER 18, ARMENPRESS: Israel’s President Shimon Peres received Armen Melkonyan, Armenian Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Israel. Armenian Ambassador jointly with five Ambassadors handed their credentials to Israeli President, Peres posted in his Facebook page. As Armenpress reports, the head of the country wrote:

''The ambassador has an important and crucial role in the diplomatic relations between countries. For this reason I was happy to welcome six new ambassadors in my residence, from Cote d'Ivoire, Italy, Malta, and Armenia as well as from Egypt and Jordan, after two years without a Jordanian ambassador to Israel. The peace between us saved the lives of tens of thousands of young people in Jordan, Egypt, the Middle East and in Israel. The lives of the young people are the most important concern. I know it's not simple, I know there are people who try to frustrate peace and I believe that our governments will do whatever they can to keep the peace between us deep, sincere, strong and serious for the sake of your people and for the sake of our people. I know this is an unfinished job because you, as well as us, would like to see peace across the Middle East. Feel welcome and at home in our country. All doors are open to you in order to strengthen the relationships and increase the cooperation between our countries. Diplomatic relations between Armenia and Israel were established on April 4, 1992. During the period of 1993-2007 Armenia was covered from the Embassy of Israel in Georgia . Since 2007 the residence of the Embassy moved to Jerusalem. On October 2010 Shmuel Meirom was appointed as Ambassador of Israel in Armenia. In 1996 Mr. Tsolak Momjian was appointed as Honorary Consul of Armenia in Jerusalem''.
