YEREVAN, APRIL 9, NOYAN TAPAN. Armenian-Hungarian relations have
always distinguished themselves by their friendly nature, and the
activation recorded in the past years created new preconditions for
development of cooperation, and expansion of the legal-contractual
sphere between the two countries is important in that respect. RA
President Serzh Sargsyan said during the conversation following the
ceremony of handing credentials by newly appointed Ambassador of
Hungary to Armenia Gabor Shagin (residence Tbilisi) on April 9. He
expressed the hope that the Ambassador during his tenure will do his
best to expand the cooperation circle between the two countries.
According to the report of the RA President’s Press Office, the
interlocutors held the same opinion that there are serious bases for
making the relations more intensive.
G. Shagin, in his turn, said that Hungary is going to further
strengthen cooperation with Armenia in bilateral and many-sided formats
and resolutely assists the EU Eastern Partnership initiative. According
to the Ambassador, the Hungarian side also considers S. Sargsyan’s
official visit to Hungary planned in late 2009 as a serious stimulus
for development of the two countries’ partnership.
