YEREVAN NAMES ITS CENTRAL SQUARE AFTER FRANCE
`Theaters, musical establishments, museums, and places for national
meetings surround the square. This is surely one of the most beloved
sites of our city, a point of connection joining several communities
of Yerevan, the heart of Yerevan. From now on the name of France will
be written on that heart. Let that name be eternal as eternal is our
friendship. Long live France! Long live Armenia,' Armenian President
Robert Kocharyan said in his speech at the opening ceremony of the
square on Mashtots and Sayat Nova crossroads, which from now on will
be called after France.
France's President Jacques Chirac was present at the ceremony together
with his wife. Present were the First Lady of Armenia, Charles
Aznavour, ministers of both countries, delegations and thousands of
Yerevan residents.
`I want to thank you on behalf of all French men and French women. We
are deeply touched by this honor this day when the French Days
launched in Armenia and the Year of Armenia started in France. The
French square will symbolize our friendship similar to those 400
Armenian events that will run throughout France until July 14,'
President Chirac told in his reply speech. /Panorama.am/
