President Serzh Sargsyan has sent a telegram of condolences to his French counterpart Francois Hollande over the terrorist attacks in Paris last night.

“Honorary Mr. President,

I’m deeply shocked by the news of this unprecedented act of terrorism in Paris.

I strongly condemn these nasty actions, which claimed the lives of a dozens of innocent people.

The growth of such inhumane acts of violence in different countries of the world is worrisome.

I’m confident that every member of the civilized international community will join the struggle against this evil.

We cannot allow violence, extremism and intolerance to dominate. We have to join efforts to reveal and eradicate all factors that cause such horrifying expressions of radicalism.

At this hard moment, Armenia stands by France and is ready to provide every support.

Mr. President, I offer my deep condolences to you, the friendly people of France and the relatives of the victims and wish a speedy recovery to the injured.

Our prayers, hearts and souls are with the people of France.”
