appreciates Mr. Piras’s investment in this matter. Finding the

towns important the Prime Minister mentioned that the majority of the
residents of Talin are Armenians from Western Armenia who migrated
as a result of the Genocide.

today the Armenian Nation thanks France and the French, the French
in their turn thank the Armenians for becoming the citizens of their

under the pressure of the European countries.
