Vice-Speaker Arpine Hovhannisyan holds meeting with US Ambassador



YEREVAN, JULY 21, ARMENPRESS. Vice-Speaker of Armenia’s Parliament Ms.
Arpine Hovhannisyan, who also acts as the leader of the Armenia-USA
friendship group, held a meeting on July 21 with US Ambassador to
Armenia H.E. Richard Mills.

Hovhannisyan attached importance to the continuous efforts of the
United States aimed at strengthening the democratic institutions in
Armenia, effectiveness of the anti-corruption fight, development of
the civil society and implementation of reforms.

The US Ambassador highly valued Hovhannisyan’s personal contribution
and efforts in deepening bilateral relations, and expressed confidence
that the cooperation with the legislative body will be as effective as
it was with the executive.

“The friendship and partnership of our states is long lasting, strong
and versatile. We expect to continue our partnership with the
parliamentary friendship group – with your skilled leadership.
Together we will strengthen parliamentary ties between the USA and
Armenia and will form new opportunities for cooperation”, the US
Ambassador said.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
