In the past 30 years, both Armenia and Romania have recorded successes in political transformation, he said adding that between the communities of the two countries there may be interesting topics for discussion, including combating corruption, freedom of speech, political culture, geopolitics, and regional security.

The ambassador recalled that Romania was one of the first to establish diplomatic relations with Armenia, one of the first to ratify the EU-Armenia deal, and the Armenian community of Romania plays a big role in all these processes.
