Foundation of Armenia.
The interlocutors went on to discuss a broad range of issues of
mutual concern. Farming, furniture fabrication, textile industry,

economic zone and a refrigerating facility at Zvartnots international
airport. The two sides said to be pleased with the current level of
Armenian-Italian cultural ties.
In turn, Renzo Tondo reminded that Udine, the administrative center
of Friuli-Venezia Giulia region, is the first Italian town to have
recognized the Armenian Genocide. There is an Armenian Park in Udine
dedicated to Genocide's innocent victims.
Thanking the Prime Minister for reception, Ambassador Bruno Scappini
said in turn that the intellectual potential and the high level of
Armenia's professional background are among its key assets.
Stressing the need for full realization of cooperation
potentialities, the Ambassador introduced his initiative on founding
an Armenian-Italian chamber of commerce as part of the all-Italian
network of chambers of commerce. It is expected to allow Armenian
businessmen to extend the scope of business contacts.
