Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan having completed his visit to Moscow
is leaving for France, the presidential press service told Interfax.

"The delegation led by the Armenian president is leaving Moscow for
France on Monday for a two-day working visit. In Paris Sargsyan is
scheduled to meet French President Nicolas Sarkozy, Prime Minister
Francois Fillon and Senate President Gerard Larcher," the press
service said.

In Paris he will also meet famous singer Charles Aznavour.

Last week Armenian Foreign Minister Edvard Nalbandian told the press
that after Moscow Sargsyan would visit France and "naturally discuss
the settlement of the conflict in Karabakh."

Sargsyan discussed the settlement in Nagorno Karabakh at trilateral
talks with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev and Azerbaijani President
Ilham Aliyev last Sunday in Meindorf outside Moscow.
