Parliament speaker: Armenians and Swiss are bearers of the same spiritual and cultural system of values
The history met the Armenians and the Swiss not by chance, since the two peoples are the bearers of the same spiritual and cultural system of values, a top Armenian official said on Wednesday, at the opening of an exhibition by Swiss Artist Felice Varini at Yerevan Railway Station.
“As Armenia will mark the 26th anniversary of Independence, so Switzerland will mark its 726th anniversary, and continue getting strength from the feeling of freedom and their powerful will of overcoming the difficulties,” the Speaker of Armenia’s National Assembly (NA), Ara Babloyan said during the opening of the exhibition titled Hexagons, Circles and Trapeza.
The head of the parliament highlighted the cooperation with Switzerland both as a doctor and as a Head of Armenia-Switzerland Parliamentary Friendship Group. He detailed that during over three-decade long cooperation, various programs have been implemented, including programs related to the health sector, due to which numerous lives have been saved.
In his speech, artist Felice Varini particularly noted: “Indeed, it is very pleasant for me to share my joy with you. I have not carried out the work on my own, a whole team helped me to call it into life.”
