The newly-appointed Honorary Consul of Macedonia to Armenia pledged to do the utmost to contribute to development and strengthening of bilateral relations.

As Arayik Sargsyan told a press conference, Armenia will benefit from a good partner in the Balkans and Macedonia, in turn, from a partner in the South Caucasus. The consul noted that the Macedonian side has officially requested the Armenian authorities to appoint him as Honorary Consul to Armenia.

“With establishment of ties between Armenia and Macedonia dating back to the times of Alexander the Great, the historical experience should be used in developing current relations,” the official concluded.
