JULY 28

Parliament Speaker Tigran Torosian received today Mamun Hariri,
the outgoing charge d’affaires of the Syrian Arab Republic to Armenia.

The press office of the parliament quoted Mamun Hariri as
saying that his 18 month tenure in Armenia was marked by growing
cooperation between foreign and education and science ministries of
the two countries, a joint session of bilateral intergovernmental
economic cooperation commission during which tens of documents were
signed. Mamun Hariri said he was leaving Armenia with beautiful
memories and the feeling of remaining Armenians’ friend forever.

He wished success and new achievements to Armenia and its people and
spoke also about the necessity of reciprocal visits. He said the new
Syrian parliament is going to set up a Syria-Armenia parliamentary
caucus.

Tigran Torosian for his part spoke about centuries-old friendship
between Armenian and Syrian peoples, the Armenian community of Syria,
who found refuge there after the 1915 genocide.

Tigran Torosian said there are no obstacles to hamper boosting of
Syrian-Armenian relations. He then wished success to the outgoing
charge d’affaires and accepted an invitation to pay a visit to Syria.
