YEREVAN. – President of Greece Karolos Papoulias said his country is ready to make contribution to development of relations between Armenia and European Union.

The Armenian and Greek people share common values and history, he said during the Armenian-Greek business forum held in Yerevan.

“The links connecting us with the past are alive. They are strengthened and developed by the Armenian community in Greece, which is making a very active and creative contribution to the economy of our country. On the other hand, the Greek community in Armenia, though relatively small, is also well known for its activities,” Papoulias said.

He added that Greece has much to offer to Armenian investors, as the country has been rapidly going out of the economic crisis and went 28 points up in the World Bank's Doing Business within two years.

“We look forward to hosting Armenian companies,” he resumed.
