PanARMENIAN.Net – President of Madagascar Hery Rajaonarimampianina will arrive in Yerevan in May, the island country’s foreign minister Henry Rabary Njaka told Armenian president Serzh Sargsyan on Friday, February 23.

His complete name being Hery Martial Rajaonarimampianina Rakotoarimanana, he holds the world record of the Head of State with the longest name (44 characters) as well as family name (19 characters)

According to the diplomat, Rajaonarimampianina’s visit will give a new impetus to the bilateral relations, especially in the economic area, as the countries boast major potential for cooperation in the fields of tourism, IT, agriculture to name a few.

The Malagasy foreign policy chief said representatives of business circles and lawmakers will accompany the president during his stopover in Yerevan.

Sargsyan, in turn, expressed hope that Madagascar, as an active member of La Francophonie, will be represented at the organization’s Summit in October at the highest level.

“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
