YEREVAN, JULY 18, ARMENPRESS: The British Ambassador in Armenia,
Thorda Abbott-Watt and the embassy staff thanked today in a message
all those who have sent messages of sympathy and support following the
bombings in London on 7 July. “They have valued deeply the kindness
of their friends in Armenia,” the message said.
In response to the letter which President Kocharian sent to British
Prime Minister Tony Blair on the day of the bombings, the Ambassador
on Friday sent the President the following letter: “Your Excellency
I should like to thank you sincerely for your warm and timely message
of sympathy to the Prime Minister following the bombing in London on
7 July. This is a sad time for all of us.
Our thoughts and prayers are with the victims and their families. But
we deeply appreciate the fact that our friends share our sense of
loss and outrage at this cowardly attack. We have been moved by the
sympathy and kindness of Armenians of all walks of life, including
those who left flowers and candles anonymously in front of the Embassy
last week. Your support means a great deal to us in these troubled
times. Thank you again.’
