The 20th year of Armenian-Italian diplomatic relations has been marked
in the Italian Senate.
According to the press service of Armenia’s Foreign Ministry,
Ambassador of Armenia to Italy Ruben Karapetyan spoke about the
Nagorno-Karabakh peace process.
He said that stability in the region depends not only on oil and gas
interests. “Nobody can force a citizen of Nagorno-Karabakh to renounce
his or her right to live in an independent country, nor can anybody
force a people that has shed blood for its freedom to live in a country
that constitutes a threat to its physical existence,” Karapetyan said.
As regards Armenian-Italian relations, he said that the countries
have proved that their mutual confidence and sympathy can be a good
basis for effective political and economic cooperation.
