I cordially congratulate you and the friendly people of Cyprus on Independence Day. May the brotherly people of Cyprus always be blessed with prosperity, progress and peace!

Armenia attaches great importance to the ongoing excellent political dialogue with friendly Cyprus, anchored in the centuries-old friendship between the Armenian and Cypriot peoples, adorned with rich historical and cultural ties.

I am confident that the fruitful and ever-expanding Armenian-Cypriot cooperation will continue to be strengthened and expanded both at the bilateral and multilateral levels. In this context, the trilateral Armenia-Cyprus-Greece Summit to be held in Yerevan in January, 2020 is a brilliant opportunity to give new impetus to multilateral cooperation between the three countries.

Mr. President, please accept my sincere wishes for your robust health and endless creative energy.
