New Zealand, Armenian FMs discuss Asia-Pacific issues

WELLINGTON Aug. 9

New Zealand Foreign Minister Murray McCully Thursday held talks to
discuss cooperation with his visiting counterpart from Armenia.

McCully said he and Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian would
also discuss bilateral relations and issues affecting the Asia-Pacific
region.

“This visit is an excellent opportunity to discuss further cooperation
between New Zealand and Armenia,” McCully said in a statement.

Nalbandian would also meet Speaker of the New Zealand Parliament
Lockwood Smith and Chief Justice Dame Sian Ellis, as well as members
of the local Armenian community.

The Republic of Armenia gained independence from the former USSR in
1991, and in recent years had forged links with the European Union
through the Eastern Partnership forum.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
