YEREVAN, OCTOBER 1, ARMENPRESS: Mark Brunet is the name of the person,
who came to Armenia with charitable purposes driving a bicycle from
his motherland, passing territory of 6000 kilometers. Mark launched
his biking tour on July 21 from his native town Valence.
The trip passed through more than ten countries: Switzerland, Germany,
Austria, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Moldova, Ukraine, Russia, Turkey
and Georgia. From the very beginning of the trip Brunet traveled alone,
without anybody's assistance. He slept in a tent or in the houses of
random people that he met on his way. On September 26 Brunet reached
Ijevan, which is the sister town of Valence.
According to Armenpress, as was reported by Mark Brunet at the press
conference on October 1, Armenia was a very valuable fact for him,
but he hardly remembered when he had read or heard about Armenia for
the first time.
"I did not even think about such reception and enthusiasm expressed
by the Armenian people. There was already the idea of the preliminary
motivation and interest and that was enough", - said Mark Brunet.
Mark Brunet has a recording studio in France and he is an amateur
sportsman as well. He initiated this trip not only as a sports fan.
His objective is humanitarian. During his trip he collected means
for the organizations "Hope for Armenia" of France and "Armenian
Missionary Association of America", which have worked together in
Armenia for more than 20 years. The collected means will be allocated
for the restoration of the heating system of "Arevik" kindergarten.
"What I have done is not a deed. I just turned the pedals of my bike.
The real deed was made by the people, who provided those money. In
total about USD 10,000 was collected", - said Brunet. He did not
forget to mention as well, that he was astonished by the nature and
sightseeings of Armenia.
The Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of France to the
Republic of Armenia Henri Reynaud named the act of Mark Brunet a real
deed and considered the implemented mission to be a connecting cycle
between Valence and Yerevan. Mark Brunet will definitely return to
Armenia with the purpose of new discoveries.
