On September 16, the President of the National Assembly of Armenia Alen Simonyan has received the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of the Netherlands to Armenia Nicolas Schermers, who is the first resident Ambassador of that country to the Republic of Armenia.

Presenting some details from the meeting, Alen Simonyan thanked the Ambassador for the substantive position of the Netherlands towards our region and for supporting democratic priorities of Armenia.
