Dutch Ambassador Nico Schermers issued a message—and in Armenian—on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of Armenia's independence.

"Now are difficult times for Armenia. But I am convinced [that] this beautiful country and wonderful people have a bright future. (…). Next year we will mark the 30th anniversary of the establishment of bilateral relations between our countries. I want to emphasize our readiness to further deepen and expand our partnership," Ambassador Schermers said, in particular.
