An Armenian delegation, led by National Assembly (NA) Speaker Galust
Sahakyan, on Monday met, at the French NA, with its president,
Claude Bartolone.
Sahakyan noted that relations with France occupy a special place in
the foreign policy agenda of Armenia. He added that the historical
and cultural ties between the two nations also are a major factor in
the development of interstate relations.
"Also, it is impossible to ignore the fact that France is the first
country in the world to recognize the Armenian Genocide by law.
"Close interparliamentary cooperation has an important role in the
development of interstate relations between the two countries,"
Sahakyan specifically stated.
Speaking about bilateral relations, Bartolone, for his part,
underscored the presence of a large Armenian community in France. He
also reaffirmed that the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict should be resolved
peacefully and within the OSCE Minsk Group format.
At the end of the talk, the Armenian NA leader invited his French
counterpart to Armenia to attend the events to be held in April 2015,
on the centenary of the Armenian Genocide.
On the same day in Paris, Galust Sahakyan also participated in an
economic forum entitled "Armenia, as Access to the Eurasian Economic
Union Market."
