On October 20 the presentation of eminent intellectual,
Egyptian-Armenian public figure Berdj Terzian on the establishment of
the Armenian Embassy in Egypt took place in the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs of the Republic of Armenia.
The book is devoted to the origins of the twenty years old
Armenian-Egyptian relations, in particular the establishment of the
Armenian Embassy to Egypt and its further activities.
At the presentation Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian had an address.
In his address the Minister mentioned that being Honorary Chairman
of AGBU Cairo Chapter for a long time, Berdj Terzian was not only the
witness of the establishment of the Armenian Embassy, but also brought
his efficient contribution to the establishment of the Embassy and its
further activities. And in this respect Edward Nalbandian expressed
words of gratitude to the author of the book.
The Armenian Minister of Foreign Affairs stressed as well that the
Armenian and Egyptian peoples have centuries-old and close relations
and are connected with a traditional friendship and sympathy tested
by history.
"It has been already twenty year since the establishment of the
relations between Armenia and Egypt and the mutually beneficial
cooperation between the two countries has recorded a considerable
progress, including political, economic, scientific, cultural spheres,
as well as a number of other spheres of activities.
Surely, the Armenian Embassy to Egypt has had and continues to have
its important contribution to those achievements, next to which the
Armenian community in Egypt has always been," said the Minister.
"When I got the book and read it, once again I remembered and relived
the twenty year old events.
Twenty years later, it seems to be natural to have the most beautiful
and presentable embassy in Cairo, which is one of the best embassies
among foreign embassies functioning in Egypt. But few are aware
of the difficulties and efforts due to which it became a reality,"
said the Foreign Minister.
"This book is tribute to the representatives of the Armenian community
in Egypt, who have been always next to the Embassy, bringing their
contribution to the activities of the Embassy. All community structures
and all Armenians in Egypt gathered and provided their unanimous
support to the establishment of the Armenian Embassy to Cairo.
On that occasion I have had many opportunities to express my gratitude
to the unique Armenian community in Egypt, with whom I am tied with
the warmest memories.
And today, taking the opportunity of the presence of Mr. and Mrs.
Terzian, great benefactor Vard Alexanian and his wife, I would like
to extend my gratitude to all our compatriots living in Egypt,"
noted Minister Nalbandian summarizing his address.
