the country in 1993.In a conversation with a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter,
Baruch Ben-Neria noted that Armenia still has a great potential for
development. Ben-Neria stressed strengthening of trade and economic
ties as the most promising aspects in Armenia-Israel relations. `The
countries could also cooperate in such sectors as tourism and IT,’ the
ex-envoy noted.

states,’ the ex-envoy stressed in conclusion, expressing Jerusalem’s
interest in boosting relations with Armenia.
