President Serzh Sargsyan Received Deputy Foreign Minister of Japan
Yerevan. OREANDA-NEWS . May 05, 2011. President Serzh Sargsyan
received today the Deputy Foreign Minister of Japan Hisasu Tokunaga.
The President of Armenia once again expressed his condolences on the
March 11 devastating earthquake in Japan, which claimed many lives and
caused devastation. He noted that, unfortunately, in 1988 the Armenian
people too felt the wrath of natural disaster. According to Serzh
Sargsyan, that is probably one of the reasons why the people of
Armenia were particularly upset by the tragedy in Japan. We admire the
courage and resilience of your people in the face of this enormous
blow. We certainly follow closely steps undertaken by the Japanese
government toward the elimination of the consequences of the accident
at the Fukusima-1 nuclear station and remain hopeful that you will be
able to remove them all, President Serzh Sargsyan said.
President Sargsyan also expressed hope that even though Japan is
currently having difficult times, it will not interfere with the works
aimed at the invigoration of our bilateral relations, which the
Armenian side enahnced by opening last June the Embassy of Armenia in
Tokyo.
The Deputy Foreign Minister of Japan expressed gratitude to President
Sargsyan for the words of compassion and warm attitude toward the
people of Japan and provided assistance and assured that despite all
difficulties, Japan will carry on with its assistance programs in
Armenia. Hisasu Tokunaga noted that he was visiting Armenia for the
first time in his official capacity and has no doubt that the meetings
held in the framework of this visit will strengthen the development of
the Armenian-Japanese cooperation in different areas.
