Cyprus and Armenian House Speakers reassure common views
by Maria Fili
Yerevan, Oct 19 (CNA) -- Cyprus House of Representatives President
Demetris Christofias and Armenia's National Assembly President Arthur
Baghdasaryan said they have reassured during their talks here the
common views Cyprus and Armenia share on issues of common interest
and full understanding of each side's positions.
Christofias and Baghdasaryan were addressing a banquet hosted by the
latter in Christofia's honour on the occasion of his official visit
to Armenia, at the head of a parliamentary delegation.
Baghdasaryan said relations between Cyprus and Armenia have to be
developed further, expressing certainty that with his personality and
political prestige Christofias will contribute significantly towards
this direction.
He reiterated his country's support to Cyprus' struggle for a
settlement to its political problem, wishing for a speedy solution.
Christofias noted the similarity of the history of the people of
Cyprus and the people of Armenia, noting that ''we are two victimized
people that through their struggle to survive have developed a high
sense of solidarity and love for the individual and of justice.''
He noted his talks in Armenia were fruitful and were a follow-up of
the talks that took place during Baghdasaryan's visit to Cyprus.
He stressed that agreements between the two countries must bear fruit
and pledged he will make every effort in this direction.
