According to the representatives of the German side, this project is the first of its kind, and Armenia was chosen as a country with friendly and democratic values. “It is common for us to say that we wake up early. This means that we are prompt and able to respond to all questions,” Gunnar Schellenberger noted, referring to the further plans for prospective cooperation.

The sides discussed the issues related to lasting peace and security in the region, humanitarian issues following the 44-day war.

“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
