/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Cyprus is willing to assist implementation of
strategic projects in Armenia and to be a bridge between Armenia and
its European partners.

"The action plan signed by Armenia and the EU in the framework of the
European Neighborhood Policy offers extra opportunities," Mr. Marios
Garoyan, President of the House of Representatives of Cyprus told
the Armenian National Assembly today.

The Armenian-Cypriot relations are dynamically developing but there
is still room for deepening bilateral cooperation, according to him.

He also expressed satisfaction with the Armenian-Cypriot cooperation
within international organizations, specifically PACE and OSCE.

"I am thankful to Armenia for support of our struggle for reunion. This
help will never be forgotten," he said, adding that the Cypriot
parliament was among the first to announce April 24 the Day of
Commemoration of the Armenian Genocide.

Mr. Garoyan also emphasized the role of the Armenian community in
development of relations between the two states.
