YEREVAN, 23 MARCH, ARMENPRESS. France will be participating in the
Armenian Genocide commemoration ceremony at the level of the head of
state with three calls for remembrance, tribute to the victims and
responsibility so that such horrible events never happen again. This is
what Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of France to Armenia
Jean-Francois Charpentier announced. In response to “Armenpress”‘s
question, the French Ambassador to Armenia said the French Embassy
in Armenia is currently working on organizing President Francois
Hollande’s visit to Armenia. “Francois Hollande will be arriving
in Yerevan with quite a large delegation consisting of nearly 120
delegates. There is still no information about the composition of
the delegation. I can simply add that the delegation will include
members of the French-Armenian community,” Charpentier said.

April 24th marks the centennial of the Armenian Genocide perpetrated
by Ottoman Turkey. Several delegations from different countries
will be visiting Armenia. President of France Francois Hollande and
