Due to your fair and firm positions in this period of vital importance for the Armenian people, you enjoy great respect not only in the Italian-Armenian community, but also in the Armenian society. I am confident that during your leadership we will manage to record new joint achievements, raising the cooperation between Armenia and Italy to a new qualitative level in all areas of mutual interest.
