    President Serzh Sargsyan, met with the Mayor of Rome Gianni Alemanno,
    President's Press Office reports.

    The President of Armenia underscored that he was immensely pleased to
    conduct a visit to Rome, whose history intertwines with the history
    of the Armenian nation and Armenians. According to Serzh Sargsyan,
    four ancient historical maps on the wall of the Forum Romanum prove
    that there had been times when the Roman Empire and Armenia were
    neighbors - two bordering, sovereign states, and today Armenia and
    Italy continue to efficiently cooperate on that solid historical base.

    According to the President, the Armenian cross-stone, a cultural
    symbol of the Armenian nation, which was included by UNESCO on the
    list of Human non material cultural heritage, opened in the Eternal
    City will signify the perpetuity of the Armenian-Italian friendship.
    It is also a great opportunity for the citizens of Rome and guests
    of the city to familiarize with and join to the Armenian culture.

    President Sargsyan expressed hope that cooperation with Rome will
    deepen year by year and contribution of Mayor Alemanno to further
    strengthening of the Armenian-Italian relations will become even more
    prominent. The President of Armenia said that the meeting with Mayor
    of Rome provides a good opportunity to express gratitude for the
    assistance provided by the City Hall of Rome in the organization of
    "Dvin: Armenian Capital between Europe and Asia" exhibition which was
    inaugurated on November 8 in the framework of the Silk Roads project.

    After the meeting, in front of Brasco Museum located in the center of
    Rome, Mayors of Rome and Yerevan, in the presence of President Serzh
    Sargsyan, opened the Armenian cross-stone. Afterwards, the President
    of Armenia visited "Dvin: Armenian Capital between Europe and Asia"
    exhibition.

    President Serzh Sargyan's meeting with the President of the Italian
    Chamber of Deputies Gianfranco Fini will conclude moments later.

    In Rome, the President of Armenia will meet also with the Vice Chair
    of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly, Head of the Italian delegation at
    the OSCE PA Riccardo Migliori. Later in the day, President Sargsyan
    will meet with the representatives of the Italian business community.
