We hope that the cooperation established between the government and the Izmirlian Foundation will be continuous," said Prime Minister Pashinyan.

Sarkis Izmirlian thanked for the hospitality and noted. "The honor you gave to my father is priceless. Everything that he has done in Armenia for decades, he did for the people of Armenia, not for the purpose of receiving honor and praise.
