FOREIGN DIPLOMATS REMEMBER ARMENIAN GENOCIDE VICTIMS
YEREVAN, APRIL 24, ARMENPRESS: "France was one of the first nations to
give shelter to thousands of Armenians who escaped massacres in Turkey.
France has also officially recognized the Armenian genocide and I am happy
that the Armenian community in my country is flourishing and prospering.
France was and is Armenia's friend," French ambassador to Armenia Henry Cuny
told journalists today after he and other embassy officials laid a wreath at
the Genocide Memorial.
"We have come here to remember the Armenian victims of the first genocide
of the 20-th century. Armenians sustained the greatest damages during the
World War I. At this hour of sad remembrance Georgians are with their
Armenian brothers and sisters," Georgian ambassador to Armenia Revaz
Gachechiladze said.
"It is a sad today, but it is also a happy day, because the Armenian
nation has proved its viability, contrary to the desire of the Ottoman
Empire. No one can destroy a nation, Armenians live, grow and are on the
path of registering new achievements," an Armenia-American benefactor Vahakn
Hovnanian told reporters.
