President of France Nikola Sarkozy arrived in Yerevan and was greeted
by his Armenian counterpart Serzh Sargsyan at "Zvartnots" airport.
The French President was received and welcomed by the honorary reserve
group and a festive parade, and the military orchestra performed
the French and Armenian national anthems. Accompanying Sarkozy on
his visit to Armenia are well-known French Armenians, including
acclaimed singer Charles Aznavour, former minister Patrick Devejian,
world renowned singer Elen Segara and soccer player Yuri Jorkaef.
The French President stepped out of the plane alone. His wife didn't
arrive in Yerevan since she is currently at a maternal ward in Paris.
Sarkozy headed from the airport to the Mother See of Holy Etchmiadzin
and the Tsiternakaberd complex to pay tribute to the victims of the
Armenian Genocide.
Tomorrow morning, the French President and Serzh Sargsyan will give
a joint press conference and will open the statue of Roden placed at
the French Square in Yerevan. Sarkozy will also deliver a message to
all Armenians.
