Robert Kocharyan: Armenia, like France, supports power decentralization
policy
Today Armenian President Robert Kocharyan met with French Minister
Delegate for Regional Development Christian Estrosi.
The presidential press service reports the sides to express
satisfaction with the success of the Year of Armenia in France. They
noted that this event has become a real holiday of Armenian-French
friendship.
The sides exchanged views concerning regional development problems and
the prospects of cooperation in the sphere. Kocharyan noted that
Armenia’s state administration system is similar to the French one as
the French Constitution served as a sample for the Armenian one. Just
like France, Armenia supports power decentralization policy. "We are
interested in France’s experience in regional development," Kocharyan
said.
