HENRY CUNY SAYS GOOD BYE TO ARMENIA

Henry Cuny, French Ambassador to Armenia, is going to complete his
diplomatic mission soon. He provided his farewell letter to the mass
media. In the letter, he called Armenia a country of the sun, labor,
culture and smartness. Leaving from Armenia, Mr. Cuny regrets that
the sides failed to make progress in the Nagorno Karabakh settlement
issue. He added that the unsettled issue has quite a negative impact
on both Armenia and the region.

He spoke with admiration about the culture, the language and the
art of Armenia and added that the cultural heritage of Armenia
will be represented in 100 French cities in the course of over 500
arrangements. "There can be no better completion of diplomatic mission
for an ambassador than the visit of his native country’s president. I
am glad that Mr.

Chirak appreciated each moment of his visit and the perfect
organization of the presidential visit from the Armenian authorities,"
he said.

He said that that will be difficult for him to leave from Armenia on
October 29, he promised that he will be back to Armenia with a series
of lectures.
