Over 100 Armenian pupils were to leave for France within the framework
of the programme "Armenian days in France." But the fortune smiled
at 539 pupils.
"The French do not want to host foreigners at their homes," says
Hranush Hakobyan, the Chairwoman of the NA Standing Committee on
Science, Education and Youth.
Silva Hakobyan, the Principal of N162 School, said, "Ten pupils of
our school were to leave for France. We had already made arrangements
with their parents. Now we don’t know what to say to the parents."
"They promised us that our children would be sent to France. They
cheated us and broke their promise," says Shoghik Hakobyan, one of
the parents.
Hranush Hakobyan told A1+ that she was the most interested person
and was eager for the Armenian pupils to leave for France.
