By the July 13 decree of the President of Armenia, Alain Terzian was
awarded the Order of Honor for his significant contribution to the
development of cinematography as well as close cultural cooperation
with Armenia and his activities directed at further deepening of the
Armenian-French relations.
Handing over the high state award, the President of Armenia welcomed
the first visit of the world-famous director to Armenia and said,
"Destiny has scattered a considerable part of our people all over
the world. But in a way, it is also to our advantage, and I say often
enough that Armenia is one country with the Diaspora and quite another
without it."
Noting, that the Armenians are proud that Alain Terzian is our
compatriot, Serzh Sargsyan underlined, "Individuals such as yourself,
make Armenia more recognizable in the world. We want our compatriots
living abroad along with being good citizens of the given country,
consider Armenia their historical motherland."
The President of Armenia welcomed the participation of the
world-renowned director in the Golden Apricot film festival.
"I am enormously happy, proud and touched to be in Armenia - my
historical motherland. The moment I set my foot on the Armenian soil,
I was overwhelmed with a strange feeling. This is something that can
be comprehended only by the Armenian who has been dreaming all his
life to be in Armenia and finally realizes that the dream has come
true," Alain Terzian said. The Armenian-French artist noted that he
was impressed with the Golden Apricot film festival, which is becoming
more and more celebrated each year.
