EU's High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Catherine Ashton issued a congratulatory message on the occasion of the opening of the Diplomatic Academy in Yerevan.

I warmly welcome the personal dedication and commitment that Foreign Minister Nalbandian has demonstrated in support of this initiative.
