    CELEBRATION OF THE FRENCH NATIONAL DAY

    http://lraper.org/main.aspx?Action=DisplayNew s&NewsCode=N000000716&Lang=ENG

    On the evening of Thursday, 14 July 2005, His Beatitude Mesrob II,
    Armenian Patriarch of Istanbul and All Turkey, joined a reception in
    the garden of the Palais de France. He was accompanied by the Revd.
    Fr. Drtad Uzunyan, his staff-bearer.

    His Beatitude congratulated the Consul General, Jean-Cristophe
    Peaucelle and his wife, on the occasion of the French National Day
    and conveyed to them the good wishes of the Armenians of Turkey.

    Before beginning his speech, which he gave in both French and Turkish,
    Consul General Peaucelle invited everyone to stand for a moment of
    silence in memory of those who lost their lives in the terrorist
    attacks in London on 7 July. Following his speech, the national
    anthems of France and Turkey were played.

    The reception in honour of the French National Day was attended by
    some 3000 invited guests. Among those present were Prof. Dr. Avedis
    Hacinliyan and his wife, Doc. Dr. Arus Yumul, Lawyer Luiz Bakar, and
    Krikor Dosemeciyan - all members of the Patriarchal Advisory Council;
    Raffi Portakal, adviser on fine arts; and other invited guests from
    the Armenian community.
