The Armenian-Japanese parliamentary friendship group headed by its Chairman Samvel Farmanyan and Japanese Ambassador to Armenia Tikohito Harada planted five saplings of Japanese cherry tree in the garden of Armenia’s Parliament.

The three is a symbol of Armenian-Japanese friendship and of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.

Mr Harada told Tert.am that Armenian-Japanese relations are developing, and cultural cooperation is one of the numerous aspects of this cooperation.

Speaking of his earlier meeting with Armenia’s President Serzh Sargsyan, Mr Harada said that Armenia’s leader expects the opening of a Japanese embassy in Armenia to give impetus to the bilateral relations.
