THE CLUB OF YOUNG DIPLOMATS WILL HOST HIS EXCELLENCY AMBASSADOR H.
CUNY OF FRANCE
YEREVAN: On Thursday October 19, 3pm the Club of Young Diplomats at
Yerevan State University will host outgoing Ambassador of France to
Armenia H.E. Henry Cuny at the Balian Hall in YSU. The Club of Young
Diplomats has always enjoyed the friendly relationships with the
French Embassy and Ambassador H. Cuny. His Excellency has visited the
University on a number of occasions. One of the occasions was the
presentation of His Excellency’s "Le Bonheur Sur Tous Les Tons"
(Happiness of Any Kind) published in Armenia, a unique publication
that alters Ambassador Cuny’s original thoughts on HAPPYNESS. Copies
of the book will be distributed to interested students with author’s
signature at the end of the event. Yet this meeting will be special
since it is a kind of a farewell to students, a segment of the
Armenian society His Excellency favored the most.
An analogous event was organized to farewell H.E. Ambassador Paolo
Andrea Trabalza of Italy in 2004. Thus the Club develops a tradition
of holding special farewell events for outgoing Ambassador’s who have
significantly contributed to strengthening of the relations of their
respective states with Armenia and have integrated into the cultural
life of Yerevan.
Ambassador Cuny completes his mission in Armenia in 10 days and the
Club of Young Diplomats wanted to invite his Excellency over for an
informal interactive meeting with the student body of our Alma Mater,
a kind of a farewell to a special friend and a skilled diplomat. "His
Excellency expressed willingness to meet up with the student body
long before, yet we wanted to host the Ambassador later this month to
ask him sum up on his mission, his President’s visit to Armenia and
the "ARMENIE MONAMIE" the year of Armenia in France program to share
his views and valuable thoughts, feelings about Armenia, Armenian
people and culture as well as on his unique perception of life and
happiness", says Erik Grigoryan, the head of the student club.
"To be hold on the aftermath of President Chirac’s trip to Armenia
and on the eve of the official start of the Armenian Year In France
Program, the meeting will bear the flavor of the traditional
friendship of Armenian and French people and the partnership of the
two states", Mr. Grigoryan added.
