Budapest, November 9 (MTI) - Hungary supports Armenia's approximation
towards the European Union, President Laszlo Solyom told a news
conference after meeting his Armenian counterpart in Budapest on
Monday.
Solyom said that the Armenian community in Hungary dated back to the
time of King Saint Stephen. He welcomed that Armenia has switched to
an open political system and Hungary especially welcomes the agreement
that it signed with Turkey.
Solyom said that Hungary would work on the EU's Eastern Partnership
Programme as a priority under its EU presidency. He added that
Hungarian-Armenian research cooperation was another key area of focus.
Solyom noted that a book exhibition would be organised by the Hungarian
National Szechenyi Library in 2012 to mark the 500th anniversary of
the first printed Armenian book.
Sargsyan said he appreciated good Hungarian-Armenian relations. He
invited Solyom on an official visit to Armenia, which Solyom accepted.
Before the presidents' meeting, Hungarian Finance Minister Peter Oszko
and Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian signed an agreement
between the two countries on avoiding double taxation.
