RA NA Speaker: Czechia can contribute to Armenia-EU cooperation
Armenia attaches importance to relations with Czechia, which will assume the EU rotating presidency in 2009, Armenian National Assembly Speaker Tigran Torosyan said during a joint news conference with Czech Senate President Přemysl Sobotka.

"This visit will help to strengthen interparliamentary ties," he said.

For his part, Mr Sobotka invited the Armenian NA speaker to Czechia. He also informed that the Czech Senate will honor the memory of the 1988 Spitak earthquake victims in December.
