YEREVAN, September 21. / ARKA /. French president Nicolas Sarkozy
sent a congratulatory message to Armenian president Serzh Sargsyan
on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of Armenia's independence,
confirming France's intention to strengthen relations with Yerevan.
"On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of Armenia's independence I
wish on my own behalf and on behalf of France to convey congratulations
to you and all Armenians. On September 21, 1991 Armenia took its fate
into its own hands.
Armenia can be proud of all it has achieved over the past twenty
years," says Sarkozy's message.
Sarkozy said Armenia has built democracy, shifting to market economy
and has found its place in the international arena thanks to the
courage and industriousness of its people.
"During these years France and Armenia, linked by old and strong
historical ties, have been developing and deepening continuously a
fruitful cooperation in all spheres. France will be next to its friend
Armenia to help it withstand the challenges," the French president
says in his message.
"I will have an occasion to once again congratulate you and to express
publicly the friendship of France during your forthcoming visit to
Paris, and then during my state visit to Armenia, which I have the
honour and pleasure to make in the near future," says Sarkozy.
