French Minister: I have special attitude towards Armenia and Armenians

PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia and France have much in common, and first of all our cultures are very much alike. The best evidence of it is the Year of Armenia in France, French Minister-Delegate for Regional Development Christian Estrosi told reporters in Yerevan. He said, the Armenian Diaspora of France is well-organized and plays a great role in social-political life of the country. "They all are descendant of those who survived the Armenian Genocide in 1915 and found their second motherland in France. Armenians of France are our citizens who work for the welfare and prosperity of the French Republic," Estrosi underlined. He also noted that despite all difficulties of past few years, Armenia managed to keep her political culture and originality. "I have special attitude towards Armenia and Armenians," he said.
