850 events instead of 100 envisaged were held in 160 French cities in
the framework of the Year of Armenia in France . All the arrangements
were highly assessed by the French society.

Armenian Ambassador to France Edward Nalbandian told ArmInfo
correspondent that events of this scale were never held in any of
the European countries.

These arrangements allow to present the history and culture of the
Armenian people not only in France, but also all over Europe. "4
thousand articles have been dedicated to the Year of Armenia in France
in French media," noted the Ambassador, adding that the trip of 165
journalists and tour operators to Armenia also played a positive role
in the dissemination of information about the Armenian culture. The
Ambassador stressed the importance of holding the economic forum in
the Chamber of Trade and Commerce of Paris from the perspective of
development of Armenian-French trade-economic relations. The forum
featured more than 200 French entrepreneurs and representatives of
the executive power. The conference on decentralized cooperation
held in the French Senate and National Assembly also attracted great
attention. Representatives of 25 Armenian and French sister cities
participated in the event. For the first time Armenia participate
din the agricultural exhibition in Paris as an honoured guest.
