"Although the Year of Armenia in France is a cultural event, it will
help Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh in political affairs also," noted
Alexi Geovchian, member of the Democratic Party of France, President
of the Board coordinating French-Armenian organizations. In his words,
it is a great historic event and an exceptional opportunity.
Alexi Geovchian said in an interview with "Armenpress" that the Year
of Armenia is exceptional also in the sense that France will get to
know Armenians not only as people that suffered genocide, but also
as a nation having three thousand years of history and culture. Next
year the attitude of the French towards Armenia and Armenians will be
quite different. In Alexi Geovchian’s opinion the Year is a wonderful
opportunity to promote tourism. In his words, Armenian spirit is
already felt in France. Especially after the joint press conference
of the Foreign Ministers of the two countries, whole French media
started speaking about Armenia.
