ArmInfo.RA Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan sent a congratulatory message to the Prime Minister of the Republic of Greece Kyriakos Mitsotakis on the occasion of the  national holiday.

As the press service of the Premier reports, the message reads, in  part:  "Your Excellency, On behalf of the Government of the Republic  of Armenia and the Armenian people, I convey my sincere  congratulations to you and the fraternal people of Greece on the  occasion of the National Day of the Republic of Greece, wishing  prosperity, progress and peace.

Armenian-Greek interstate relations anchored on strong traditional  ties and a common value system stand out for their willingness to  show solidarity and support to each other, for which please accept my  sincere gratitude.

I am confident that the effective and continuously developing  cooperation between Armenia and Greece will be further strengthened  and expanded in the future at both bilateral and multilateral levels,  including in the context of Armenia-EU cooperation, as well as the  framework of Armenia-Greece-Cyprus cooperation.  Taking the  opportunity, I reaffirm our readiness to develop the multi-layered  cooperation between our countries for the benefit of the friendly  Armenian and Greek peoples".

It should be noted that Greek Independence Day, celebrated on March  25, is one of the country's main public holidays. It was on this day  in 1821 that the uprising began, the result of which was the  liberation of the country from the four-century yoke of the Ottoman  Empire.
