An international scientific forum on "Armenian-French Historic
Contacts" was held today in the Yerevan State University. The newly
appointed Ambassador of France to Armenia Serge Smessov, who was
participating in the event, noted that during his previous office he
addressed issues related to the CIS region, particularly Armenia.

"I still have to discover many things in Armenia for myself," said
the Ambassador, adding that he was particularly impressed by Armenian
hospitality and reception. He expressed hope that the close cooperation
between Armenia and France will continue deepening during his tenure
in office.
