YEREVAN, JULY 8, ARMENPRESS. Speaker of Parliament of Armenia Alen Simonyan received today Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Japan Masanori Fukushima, the Parliament’s press service said.

The sides congratulated each other on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Armenia and Japan.

Both sides voiced the necessity of cooperation in different spheres between the two countries.

“Japan is the most important partner for us, and Armenia is concerned about deepening the trade-economic ties, involving Japanese investments in our country, implementing programs of students’ exchange in the sphere of education and deepening cooperation in high technologies, health, tourism and in other directions,” Alen Simonyan stressed.

The interlocutors discussed issues connected with the importance of regional peace and security.

The Ambassador of Japan highlighted the intensive interaction at different levels, noting that very often the popular diplomacy assumes more effective role, helping the classical diplomacy.

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
