Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Greek President Katerina Sakellaropoulou met during their working visit to Greece.

The Greek President welcomed the Prime Minister's visit to Greece. "Your visit reflects the excellent level of our relations and our common will to develop and deepen our cooperation in all spheres. Age-old friendship, brotherly ties, and mutual understanding bind our two countries. We cooperate constructively within the framework of international structures. In this spirit, we fully share your interest in protecting the safety of world cultural heritage within the framework of UNESCO.

Knowing your efforts in implementing reforms, we support and deepen the institutional dialogue between Greece and Armenia. Greece is closely following the events taking place in the Caucasus; from the very first moment, we expressed our solidarity with the Armenian people by sending humanitarian aid to thousands of Armenians forcibly displaced from Nagorno-Karabakh and, at the same time, being a supporter of international law in solving problems through diplomatic dialogue. Greece unequivocally condemns the use of force and supports the negotiation process between Armenia and Azerbaijan, which aims to establish solidarity and peace that will be lasting and will contribute to the creation of good neighborhoods and relations. Once again, I greet you, Mr. Prime Minister."

Nikol Pashinyan thanked for the warm reception and words and noted: "The relations between our countries - political, economic, cultural, as you rightly mentioned - have a long history; there is a deep emotional connection between our peoples. In this sense, of course, that emotional bond was also expressed with the help of Greece to our compatriots forcibly displaced from Nagorno Karabakh, for which I am grateful.

I am glad we deepened our interstate relations during the last 33 years. And I'm so happy that that historical deep cooperation has received a critical component—collaboration on the agenda of democratic reforms. Greece is one of our most essential partners in the European Union, and our relations are emphasized not only bilaterally but also within the framework of the EU, which is one of the prominent supporters of our democratic reforms. We are also grateful for that support and that Greece participates in the EU civilian mission on the border of Armenia with Azerbaijan.

During this visit, we will have an opportunity to discuss the agenda of bilateral cooperation, RA-EU relations, and regional and international issues. In this section, I would like to thank you again for your kind words."

During the meeting, the interlocutors discussed Armenia-Greece cooperation, the processes taking place in the South Caucasus, the regulation of Armenia-Azerbaijan relations, and other issues of mutual interest.
