France, Armenia agree to deepen bilateral ties

Leaders of 2 countries also discuss relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan

France and Armenia agreed Wednesday to deepen bilateral relations in various sectors.

French President Emmanuel Macron and visiting Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan agreed to further improve bilateral ties in the transport, energy, water and defense fields, said a statement by the Elysee Palace.

During their meeting in Paris, Macron also reaffirmed France's unwavering support for Armenia's independence, its territorial integrity and its aspiration for peace, according to the statement.

Macron reiterated his full support for the development of relations between the European Union and Armenia in all dimensions.

The statement said that Macron and Pashinyan also discussed the state of negotiations aimed at normalization between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
