Underscoring the deepening cooperation between the two countries, Alen Simonyan informed his colleague about the desire to raise bilateral friendly relations to a new, functional level, proposing to consider the signing of the Strategic Partnership Agreement between Armenia and Cyprus, which, in turn, welcomed the President of the House of Representatives of Cyprus.

A separate reference was made to the activities of the Armenian community of Cyprus and the key role in fraternal relations between the two countries.
The sides also discussed the regional problems, in that context underlining the necessity of signing the Agreement already agreed upon between Armenia and Azerbaijan. Alen Simonyan drew his colleague’s attention to the problem of the captives being in Azerbaijan and the illegally held persons, also emphasizing the issue of the missing servicemen.
