Armenia’s President Serzh Sargsyan, who is on a working trip to France, today had a meeting with Mayor of Nice Christian Estrosi.

Welcoming the President, Estrosi said that it’s a great honor that Armenia is the honorary guest of one of the world’s most famous Midem international music festival. 

President Sargsyan thanked for the warm reception and noted that people in Armenia are familiar with the Mayor’s activities and his considerate treatment to Armenians. According to Sargsyan, the Armenian Genocide Centennial commemoration events held in Nice on April 24, 2015, sharing the Armenian people’s pain and involving others in the events all come to witness that treatment.  

The Mayor of Nice said that the recognition of the tragedy suffered by the Armenian people, according to him, is everyone’s duty. He expressed satisfaction with the relations and cooperation established between Yerevan and Nice, stressing that Armenia’s president is always a welcome guest for them.

Estrosi also said that he is planning to visit Yerevan before the end of the year to further enhance the friendly ties between Yerevan and Nice, as well as discuss new opportunities of cooperation.
