Replying to the journalist’s question implying whether professional diplomats do not envy cultural “diplomats” for making bigger success, the Ambassador of the Federal Republic of Germany to Armenia Matthias Kiesler noted: “I do not see a difference in Armenia and Germany from the perspective of cultural and political collaboration, we work equally on every front. Particularly, this year celebrated the 25th anniversary of the establishment of the Armenian-German diplomatic relations. As regards the cultural field, Goethe Institute’s center is opening soon in Yerevan… Germany highlights the importance of Goethe Institute’s presence in Armenia very much, it will promote the establishment of cultural relations.”
The Ambassador of Germany to Armenia mentioned that after finishing diplomatic mission, he will come to Armenia on the occasion of “Golden Apricot”, forasmuch as he is a film lover and watches films in various countries oftentimes.
As stated by the Adviser on Cooperation and Cultural Matters of the Embassy of the French Republic in Armenia Alex Bortolan, cultural cooperation plays a huge role in French-Armenian relations, but it is not the only one. “We have cooperation in manifold fields, our ties are deep and diverse. Armenia has become the member of the International Organization of La Francophonie, which we enjoy”: added the adviser.
