On this May 28, the 103rd anniversary of the First Republic, I wish Armenia to be able to live its independence in peace and prosperity. French Ambassador Jonathan Lacote wrote this on Facebook.

"I wish Armenia, which measures its history by millennia, to have confidence in its future. I wish Armenia never to doubt its beauty, its strengths and talents. I wish Armenians to be proud of presenting this country to their children. And I wish France to always love Armenia as Armenia loves us," Lacote added.
