The Greek-Armenian Friendship Association welcomes the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Greece and Armenia. If history had followed a different path, we would be celebrating today 102 years of diplomatic relations since the first ones were established between Athens and Yerevan in August 1920, with the independent Armenia, that existed between 1918 and 1920.The first Greek Ambassador to be appointed was Ioannis Pappas who never made it to Yerevan since in the meantime the Armenian Republic had collapsed. Yerevan had sent to Greece as its official representative Tigran Chayan who remained there until 1925.
During the last thirty years the relations between the two countries developed as never before. Many official visits were exchanged on the level of Head of State while at the same time a strong framework of agreements enhanced economic, commercial and military cooperation.
With the thirty year anniversary a friendship that unites the two peoples throughout the ages has been sealed. It is a friendship that starts from the Hellenistic period, passes from Byzantium and the Greek war of independence, it continues with our cooperation in Europe to the benefit of our peoples against our common enemy during the big crises of the Eastern Question during the 19th century, the genocide of the Armenian people by Turkey that reached its peak in 1915.
Greeks and Armenians were submitted to genocide and those who survived, reached the Greek shores as refugees. And since then the relations between the two peoples were forged and sealed by the establishment of diplomatic relations on January 20,1992.
The Greek-Armenian Friendship Association congratulates the two countries for the thirty year anniversary of their diplomatic relations and declares that it will continue to work for the promotion of the excellent cooperation that exists between the two countries and their people while declaring at the same time its intention of organizing a related event in 2022.
