Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian met with a British delegation led by Baroness Caroline Cox, former deputy speaker of UK House of Lords.

Cox noted for her part that she has established close ties with Armenia and its people since 1988. “I consider myself friend of Armenian people,” she said, adding that she will continue her activity for boosting the Armenian-British relations.
