Armenia stands by France at this moment of grief: President Sargsyan offers condolences

President Serzh Sargsyan has offered condolences to his French counterpart Francois Hollande over the deadly attack in Nice.

“I’m deeply shocked by the reports of the terrible crime in Nice that claimed the lives of dozens of innocent people.

France has been a target of terrorist attacks trice in the course of the past 1.5 years. The attacks are a blow not only to France, but also all humanity. This is also a message of being more decisive in uniting our efforts in the fight against international terrorism.

I express deep condolences to you, the French government and the relatives of the victims on this tragedy that befell your country. I assure that Armenia and the Armenian people stand by friendly France at this moment of grief,” President Sargsyan wrote.
