    MARSEILLES, JUNE 13, NOYAN TAPAN - ARMENIANS TODAY. A gathering-evening
    of the Armenian community of Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azure, France, took
    place in Marseilles on June 8. It was initiated by Regional Council
    Chairman Michel Vauzelle, and its' guest of honour was Ambassador of
    Armenia in Paris Edvard Nalbandian. About 300 representatives of the
    Armenian community organizations of the region were present at the
    evening. The region Chairman and the Armenian Ambassador made opening
    speeches, heads of Armenian organizations made speeches as well.

    As Noyan Tapan was informed by the RA Foreign Ministry's Press and
    Information Department, in his speech Ambassador Nalbandian touched
    upon preparatory works connected with the year of Armenia in France,
    mentioning that it is envisaged to hold more than 300 events in about
    50 cities of France from September 2006 to the next September. The
    events will take place in the most authoritative halls and institutions
    of France.

    The Ambassador also attached importance to decentralized cooperation,
    as an important component of the Armenian-French traditional friendship
    relations, and emphasized that within the framework of the year of
    Armenia in France, a conference dedicated to the Armenian-French
    decentralized cooperation was organized in Paris on October 17, 2006,
    under the patronage of the National Assembly and Senate heads, in
    which delegations from sister-cities and regions, the two countries'
    parliamentary friendship groups will participate.

    Prospects of cooperation established between the region of
    Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azure and the marz of Lori in the spheres of
    agriculture, health care, education and culture were discussed.

    Those making speeches touched upon the law adopted by France
    concerning recognition of the Armenian Genocide and its possible
    addition by the principle condemning its refusal. It was stated that
    necessity of condemning refusal by force of law arises just for the
    reason that Turkey continues to lead refusing policy at the state
    level and successively to refuse reality of the Armenian Genocide,
    giving reason for its new displays and outbursts.

    Issues connected with a visit to be paid to Armenia by
    Provence-Alpes-Cote d'Azure Regional Council Chairman Michel
    Vauzelle in the first half of this year were also discussed. A large
    representative delegation, Mayors, Deputies, representatives of local
    authorities and public organizations as well as a group of businessmen
    will accompany M.Vauzelle during the visit.

    Provence-Alpes-Cote D'Azur is considered one of important regions of
    France which involves six departments and has an influential role in
    political and economic life of whole France.
