Syria has a unique position in the history of the Armenian people,
Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan said on Tuesday.

"It (Syria) is very close to us, not only geographically but through
friendship, similarity of destiny and the distinguished relations
between the two peoples in addition to the several other links,"
the Armenian President said in a lecture at Damascus University.

According to him Syria and Armenia were through their joint history
parts of the Middle East. They also lived together in one place.

"Syria played a unique and an important role for Armenians. It was
the bridge that had linked Armenians, Arabs and Moslems," President
Sargsyan pointed out.

He said Syrian Armenian cooperation had got a new impetus after
Armenia’s independence and that the two countries were ready to boost
cooperation on the basis of mutual understanding.

"The most important thing is the excellent relations between MR,
President Bashar al-Assad and me," he clarified.

"This is the best example for civilizations convergence," he concluded.
