The ancient civilizational heritage and the existing natural sympathy between our nations continue developing the bilateral relations, which are at an excellent level and which will further strengthen during your expected state visit.
On these firm grounds Italy looks with confidence at the future of the relations with Armenia, hoping that the dialogue between Yerevan and the European Union will open new and greater opportunities for your country and the whole region.
