Our Closest Friends

Armenia and Greece share a strong historical and cultural bond. Both peoples fell under Ottoman rule, oppression, and persecution. Furthermore, the ancient Kingdom of Armenia exemplied the ideal Hellenistic civilization during its existence. During the Nagorno-Karabakh War, Greece did not aid Armenia militarily but supplied them with economic resources that would prove to be vital to the war effort.

Armenian-French relations have existed since the French and the Armenians established contact in the Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia and are close to this day. 2006 is proclaimed Year of Armenia in France.

Armenia's most notable recent foreign policy success came with the August 29 treaty with Russia on friendship, cooperation and mutual assistance, in which Moscow committed itself to the defense of Armenia should it be attacked by a third party. Russia is the key regional security player, and has proved a valuable historical ally for Armenia. Although it appeared as a response to Aliyev's US trip, the treaty had probably long been under development. However, it is clear from the wider context of Armenian foreign policy that -- while Yerevan welcomes the Russian security guarantee -- the country does not want to rely exclusively on Moscow, nor to become part of a confrontation between Russian and US-led alliances in the Transcaucasus.

Armenians are Byzantines! Cousins of Greeks. Armenians were all throughout the Byzantine Empire, and without their military skill, the Byzantine Empire might not of lasted as long as it did.

The Japanese and Turks have had good relations ever since Eruthgal incident, where the Japanese brought the surviving Turks to shelter. Turk returned the favour by saving some 253 Japanese at the Tehran airport during the Iran-Iraq war. The two nations have a mutual love for one another, there no hatred between them at all.
