Greece and Armenia set to bolster bilateral ties

·

Greece’s Prime Minister, Kyriakos Mitsotakis said on Tuesday that Greece and Armenia have centuries-long relations that may now be even more productive in light of the mutual difficulties that lie ahead.

According to Amna.gr, during joint comments with his Armenian counterpart, Nikol Pashinyan, Mitsotakis said they would also be able to discuss bilateral collaboration in sectors like renewable energy and technology.

“..After the war of 2023, [Armenia] better understands the values of peace. The decisions you will take will shape the course of your country in the coming years,” Mitsotakis said.

“Greece will stand at your side in every diplomatic effort for a permanent peace treaty with Azerbaijan. Only a sustainable agreement can open up the path”. 

Addressing Mitsotakis, Pashinyan said in response that “Our relations are developing at a great speed and, as a result of today’s visit, we will give them a fresh boost…We have a long history of cooperation and I am certain that it will become more effective.”

The visit of the Armenian prime minister to Athens was a crucial step in cementing already strong relations with Armenia, according to Mitsotakis.
