French President Jacques Chirac and Armenian President Robert

on Saturday.
The Armenian president declared at the ceremony that France is
Armenia's reliable partner in the European and international arena.
"History knows no periods of fading Armenian- French friendship,"
Kocharyan said.
After Armenia proclaimed independence France was one of the first
countries to side with the Armenia state, and it continues to promote
fostering of the Armenian statehood, developing its economy, culture
and education, the Armenian president said. He particularly praised
a constructive role France played in the process of settlement of
the Karabakh conflict. "We are proud that during World War II the
Armenian people took part in the Movement of Resistance and Liberation
of France," Kocharyan said.
The French president arrived in Armenia on Friday on a three-day
state visit. In the framework of the visit France will announce the
beginning of the Year of Armenia in France.
