PanARMENIAN.Net - Iraq is eager to strengthen relations with Armenia and increase the trade turnover between the two countries, Iraqi ambassador to Yerevan Dr. Suhailan M. Khaleel Al-Joubouri said at a meeting with Minister of Economy Vahan Kerobyan on Friday, November 12.

According to information provided by the Ministry of Economy, Dr. Al-Joubouri stressed the importance of Armenia for Iraq, as well as the fact that Armenians are popular in his country.

The diplomat suggested holding a meeting of the two countries' intergovernmental commission in Baghdad, adding that Iraq is interested in the participation of Armenian construction and energy companies in the reconstruction of Iraq.

Kerobyan too expressed interest in that, noting that the government is ready to support those who'll join the process. The Minister suggested that the Iraqi government consider the introduction of tools facilitating the Armenian companies' entry into the Iraqi market.

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
