YEREVAN, MAY 18, NOYAN TAPAN. Since 2000, about 50 tourists
from the French city of Valence visit Ijevan every year. Mayor
of Ijevan Varizhan Nersisian stated this during the May 18
press conference. According to him, Ijevan and Valence have been
sister-cities for 10 years. With the assistance of the Valence mayor's
office, since 2000, French experts in tourism have been invited to
Ijevan under the program on cooperation between the two cities in
the tourism sector. On their advice, about 70 apartments have been
repaired and furnished in Ijevan, as the city lacks the appropriate
hotels to accomodate a large number of tourists. V. Nersisian said
that thanks to the assistance of the Valence mayor's office, French
teachers from Ijevan underwent training in France, as well as some
young people from Ijevan - students of Yerevan Linguistic University
after V. Bryusov were provided the opportunity to attend courses for
transaltors and tour guides in France.
