Dear compatriots living in Armenia,
At the end of 2020, full of so many trials for Armenia, I am primarily thinking of the families in whose homes one of the chairs around the table will be empty.
Now is not the time to celebrate, but more than ever I would like to share the hope this country continues to inspire me.
I wish Armenia to live in peace and security,
I wish the French to always love Armenia as Armenia still loves us! , I wish everyone that 2021 will be a year of peace, happiness and prosperity", the message of the French Ambassador to Armenia reads in particular.
