On November 28, Unification for Nation Party led by Jacques Chirac
held a congress. Mher Shahgeldian, head of National Security, Home
Affairs and Defense Committee at RA National Assembly, representative
of Orinats Yerkir Party, participated in the congress as a guest from
Armenia. Over 40 thousand delegates from 60 countries participated in
the congress. Mher Shahgeldian met with many of them, as well.
Central democratic forces were represented at the congress. According
to Mher Shahgeldian, Orinats Yerkir attracted great attention as a
party bearing European values.
Representatives of Armenian National Movement were also invited to the
congress. David Shahnazarian represented the party in Paris.
There have been practical arrangements on Orinats Yerkir's mutual
visits and activities made at the congress, as well as on the future
visit European Foundations' representatives to Yerevan. They are aimed
to support legislatively our parliament. Jacques Chirac didn't
participate in the congress. France's first lady and the Prime
Minister were present at the congress.
Mher Shahgeldian's visit to France was important for another reason,
too. He returned with the news that Jacques Chirac has already signed
the decree on awarding Artur Baghdasarian "Legion of Honor".
In response to the question put by Azg Daily what services Artur
Baghdasarian was awarded such a high rank medal for and whether the
political figures of other countries were awarded the medal, Mher
Shahgeldian said: "The medal is given for strengthening the
French-Armenian relations and for his contribution to spreading the
European values. There are political figures of other European
countries that were given this medal, but they are not many."
