Armenia Always Felt France's Support
At a reception in Paris Armenian Prime Minister Andranik Margaryan said that it's an honor for the Armenian delegation to be hosted in the French parliament remarkable for its rich history and traditions. Andranik Margaryan underscored that the delegation arrived in Paris for opening of the Year of Armenia in France and has already held some important meetings in the Senate. October 18 the delegation will take part in a solemn event dedicated to the 15th anniversary of Armenia's independence.
Recently we have had the opportunity to speak our friendship. These are not empty words. The Armenian-French ties record centuries-old traditions. Today they are active and multisided. Several weeks ago French President Jacques Chirac paid a visit to Armenia. Our people welcomed him with great warmth. We evaluate this visit as recognition of a successful way towards legal state, developed democracy and free economy the RA passed during 15 years," Premier Margaryan said.
He also remarked that Armenia always felt the support France and its people. In his words, France assist the process of Armenia's integration into the European structures and takes part in the Nagorno Karabakh conflict settlement as the OSCE MG Co-chair. Major French companies invest in the Armenian economy. "The French parliament plays an important role in these processes. There are a number of groups assisting in the implementation of various programs on Armenia. The people who gathered here are our friends and it does not matter whether they represent the ruling party or the opposition. We assess highly sincere friendship and I am extremely glad to see that our intergovernmental ties are built on mutual respect, cooperation and friendship," Margaryan said, reports the RA government's press office.
