This year is a special year for Armenian-French relations, French
Ambassador to Armenia Henri Reynaud told journalists in Yerevan,
Oct 17.
That was an occasion to sum up Armenia's achievements over the first
20 years of its independence, with pride, courage and responsibility.
The Armenian people achieved this progress in post-war years amid
severe competition, Ambassador Reynaud said.
French President Nicolas Sarkozy's visit to Armenia was to be
expected. The visit overlapped the 20th anniversary of Armenia's
independence, which was an opportunity to re-affirm France's assistance
to Armenia's further development and in meeting the challenges. Also,
the French leader urged Turkey to admit its own history and the
Armenian Genocide, the French diplomat said.
Mr. Henri Reynaud also pointed out a call for Armenia and Azerbaijan
to cooperate in finding a peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh
conflict. Finally, that visit was an opportunity to open up new
prospects for developing Armenian-French economic, cultural, and
educational ties.
