ARMENIAN-FRENCH FRIENDSHIP GROUP BEING CREATED IN FRENCH PARLIAMENT
The process of creation of Armenian-French friendship group has begun in the French parliament. Vice Speaker of the French National Assembly Rudy Sal stated it in the course of the meeting with chairman of the permanent parliamentary commission on foreign relations of the Republic of Armenia Hovhannes Hovhannisian. The parties discussed the question of activation of relations between the parliaments of the two countries. In H.Hovhannisian's opinion, "the inter-parliamentary friendship between the Armenians and the French contributes to cooperation within international organizations much." In his words, "there has been no question up to now, on which the parties did not manage to come to agreement."
