/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Armenian and Syrian people have passed a long
historical way together, preserving their culture and kind relations,
RA President Serzh Sargsyan told at a joint conference with Syrian
President Bashar Al-Asad. RA President reminded about the words
of deceased President Hafez Asad, who visited Armenia 30 years ago,
"Armenia is a second native land to Syria". "I'm assured that Armenian
Community in Syria occupies an appropriate place in the country,"
Sargsyan said.
RA President noted that after independence was announced in Armenia,
Armenian-Syrian relations rose to a new level. "Strengthening and
development of relations with Middle Eastern countries is one of the
main priorities in external policy of the state. We have a tangible
ground for trade and economic collaboration development. We agreed
on collaboration in transportation sphere, specifically, creation of
land roads between Armenia and Syria," said Sargsyan.
"Armenian - Syrian relations have stood the test of time. Armenian
Community in Syria takes active participation in social and political
life of the country. Syria can offer serious support in normalization
of Armenian-Turkish relations, as we're in friendly relations both
with Armenia and Turkey," Al Asad said in his turn.
