the two countries.

During April 10 press conference, the French Ambassador to Armenia

that Armenia’s economic development continues, and the country may be
of strategical significance for French investors, while operation of
flights is indicative of trust in the Armenian economy and tourism. The
representative of Air France Central Europe Office noted that an
increase in the number of passengers of Paris-Yerevan-Paris flight has
been observed over two weeks. It is noteworthy that the world-famous
singer Charles Aznavour, who arrived in Armenia by Air France’s new
