| Armenian Square Inaugurated in the Central Park of Evreux, France April 08, 2006 |
|
On April 7, Jean-Louis Debré, President of the French National
Assembly, and Eduard Nalbandian, Armenia’s Ambassador to France,
formally inaugurated a square in the central park of the city of Evreux
in Normandy. They planted an apricot-tree brought from Armenia for
this special occasion.
In his speech, the President of the National Assembly spoke about warm and deep relations between the two nations. He underscored that the nature of the Armenia-France relationship today is very fraternal, and the best illustration of that is the Year of Armenia in France which begins this September. Meanwhile, the Armenian Ambassador noted that the apricot tree is an appropriate symbol of Armenian-French relations – with roots in French soil and fruit bearing an Armenian name. In their talks prior to the ceremony, the President of the Assembly and the Armenian ambassador discussed current issues having to do with Armenian-French relations. |
