YEREVAN NAMES ITS CENTRAL SQUARE AFTER FRANCE

“Theaters, musical establishments, museums, and places for national meetings surround the square. This is surely one of the most beloved sites of our city, a point of connection joining several communities of Yerevan, the heart of Yerevan. From now on the name of France will be written on that heart. Let that name be eternal as eternal is our friendship. Long live France! Long live Armenia,” Armenian President Robert Kocharyan said in his speech at the opening ceremony of the square on Mashtots and Sayat Nova crossroads, which from now on will be called after France.

France’s President Jacques Chirac was present at the ceremony together with his wife. Present were the First Lady of Armenia, Charles Aznavour, ministers of both countries, delegations and thousands of Yerevan residents.

“I want to thank you on behalf of all French men and French women. We are deeply touched by this honor this day when the French Days launched in Armenia and the Year of Armenia started in France. The French square will symbolize our friendship similar to those 400 Armenian events that will run throughout France until July 14,” President Chirac told in his reply speech. /Panorama.am/
