YEREVAN. – France is a friend of Armenia, French Ambassador Jean-François Charpentier stated at a press conference on Thursday.

When asked whether there were foundations for making bilateral relations grow deeper after the recent parliamentary election in Armenia and the presidential election in France, the ambassador noted that the two nations conduct friendship at all levels. 

In the French diplomat’s words, now the objective is to deepen relations and enhance the respective dynamics. “But this is not connected with elections,” he added.  

Also, Charpentier recalled that the France-Armenia friendship group is the second largest in the French parliament, and that it comprises non-Armenian MPs, too.
