PanARMENIAN.Net - Austrian President Heinz Fischer confessed having
studied Armenian history.
"I read Forty Days of Musa Dagh by Franz Werfel at school, which
impressed me greatly," he said.
Asked if his exceptions from Armenia justified themselves, President
Fischer said, "My expectations fully justified themselves. I am going
to visit your cultural monuments tomorrow. As an Austrian I feel good
in a country, where culture plays a significant role."
Upon completion of his speech, he stressed Armenian chess players'
talent and success.
"Austrians are the best skiers, while Armenians are the best chess
players; thus the score is 0-0," Austrian leader said with a smile.
