On May 4 the meeting of the Minister of Foreign Affairs Edward
Nalbandian and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Uruguay Luis
Almagro, who arrived in Yerevan on an official visit, took place in
Yerevan.
Welcoming the guest, Minister Nalbandian said, `Armenia and Uruguay
are thousands of kilometers away, but Uruguay is very close and
friendly country for Armenia and the Armenian people. Uruguay is the
first country which recognized the Armenian Genocide in 1965 and it's
not accidental that the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Uruguay started
his official visit to Armenia by visiting the Genocide Memorial. We
are very grateful to the people of Uruguay and the Uruguayan
leadership for the opening of their doors and providing shelters to
our compatriots - the survivors of the genocide, and thousands of
Armenians live in Uruguay, for whom Uruguay has become a second
homeland. We have very close and warm relations with Uruguay.'
Expressing gratitude for the reception, Luis Almagro underlined that
he has the warmest feelings towards the Armenian people and Armenia,
the proof of which is the role of the Armenian community in the
country's life and the strong inter-governmental relations with
Uruguay.
During the meeting the sides had a thorough talk on the ways of the
further development of bilateral relations, as well as regional and
international agenda issues.
The Foreign Ministers agreed to exert additional efforts for the
strengthening of political dialogue and cooperation in the
international organizations, the promotion of trade and economic
relations and the expansion of legal framework.
The settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh issue was on the agenda of the
talks between Edward Nalbandian and Luis Almagro. In this regard, it
was mutually stressed that the peaceful settlement based on the
proposals presented by the mediators has no alternative.
The meeting of the Ministers was followed by a joint press conference.
