On November 15 Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian met with Jorge
Orrico, the Speaker of the Uruguayan Parliament, who is in Armenia
on an official visit.
Welcoming the guest, Minister Nalbandian mentioned with satisfaction
that despite the fact that there are thousands of kilometers between
the two countries, Armenia and Uruguay are close countries, united
by strong friendship and commitment to universal values.
"The Armenian people has the warmest feelings towards Uruguay, which in
1965 was the first country recognizing the Armenian Genocide. Today You
are the first foreign high-ranking official to visit Nagorno-Karabakh
Republic (Artsakh). We particularly welcome You for this step, which
is worth to have a special assessment," said the Armenian Minister
of Foreign Affairs.
The Speaker of the Uruguayan Parliament expressed gratitude for the
warm reception and stressed that Uruguay strongly praises and stresses
the importance of the friendship with Armenia and Armenian people.
Jorge Orrico noted that the Armenians with their culture, work
and achievements had an important contribution to the development
of Uruguay.
"We are a small country and we are committed to the principles
of international law. Uruguay will do everything to maintain
international peace and push the right of the Armenian people to
the self-determination," underlined the Speaker of the Uruguayan
Parliament.
The sides touched upon the steps to be undertaken towards the expanding
of bilateral cooperation in various spheres. In this context the
high-ranking reciprocal visits, inter-parliamentary cooperation,
expanding of existing legal framework between the two countries and
deepening of trade and economic ties were particularly stressed.
Minister Nalbandian presented the guest the efforts undertaken by
Armenia and international community towards the peaceful settlement
of the Nagorno-Karabakh issue.
