PARIS, APRIL 11, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. On April 11, one
of squares of Paris 9th district was named after Shavarsh Misakian,
founder of Yaraj Armenian newspaper published in France since 1925. As
Noyan Tapan correspondent reports from France, present at the event
were: Paris Mayor Bernard Delanoe, Mayor of 9th district Jacques
Bravo, RA Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to France
Eduard Nalbandian, Shavarsh Misakian’s daughter, Yaraj’s current
editor Arpik Misakian.

"Shavarsh Misakian deserved naming this square after him: he deserved
such square thanks to the great work he did by founding Yaraj,
which continues to be published at present thanks to his daughter,"
E. Nalbandian said in his interview to Noyan Tapan correspondent. In
the Ambassador’s words, this in some respect is the square of all
French Armenians, as "simple, ordinary Armenian people have become
the best citizens of France, as well as a link connecting Armenia
and France."
