/PanARMENIAN.Net/ October 5 – November 5 Days of Armenian-Italian Friendship
will be held in Armenia, RA MFA Spokesman Hamlet Gasparian stated during
today’s press conference. In his words, the exhibition of the treasures of
St. Lazarus Island, which will last till the end of the year, will become
the core of the events. He also informed that the idea of organizing the
events occurred during Armenian Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian’s visit to
Venice last autumn. In his words, this cultural event has a political ground
as well, since Armenia is engaged in the EU New Neighborhood Policy. In his
turn Italian Ambassador to Armenia Marco Clemente stated that the Italian
government did its best to make the events accessible for the Armenian
people. `Italy will fill whole Yerevan with its love, friendship and the
desire to strengthen relations. We should take every opportunity to bring
together our national and cultures,’ he said.
