Karekin II received May 20 the French Minister of Economic Recovery
Plan Mr. Patrick Devedjian.

of our nation. We are proud that the part of the Armenian nation,
which found shelter in the hospitable land of France after the
emigration, managed to recover, overcome the difficulties and return
to the peaceful creative work and contribute to the prosperity of
the country. You are one of them and you have a great contribution
to the strengthening and deepening of the kind and warm relations
