The decision was approved by the City Council of Paris on Thursday, October 14, "reaffirming once again the inviolable friendship between Paris and Armenia, the strength of the Armenian-French privileged relations," the Embassy said in a statement on Friday. The esplanade of Armenia will be included in the official register of addresses in Paris. Its vast area will also include the monument to Komitas, which was erected in 2004, as well as the Yerevan Park inaugurated in 2009.
