"The cooperation of the talented actor and the great fan of equestrian
sport with the Equestrian Federation of Armenia and the "Ararat" club
should be rewarded according to deserts," said Hayrapet Hayrapetyan,
the President of the Equestrian Federation of Armenia.
Taking into consideration Thierry Lhermitte’s contribution to the
Federation and his cooperation with the "Ararat" club, Hayrapet
Hayrapetyan awarded him the title of the honorable member of the
Equestrian Federation of Armenia.
"I’m very glad and proud. I’ll try to do my best for the prosperity
of the Equestrian Federation of Armenia and the "Ararat" club. I’ll
do my best to endorse the club’s participation in the Olympic Games,"
said the French actor.
Thierry Lhermitte considers that all preconditions in exist in Armenia
for the development of equestrian sport. It remains only to prepare
