    On the 10th of February, 2010 the RA Minister of Defence Seyran Ohanyan
    met the Minister of Defence of France Mr. Eghve Moghen. After the talk
    of the heads of the defence departments of the two countries a broader

    matters of mutual interest, came up with ideas about the regional,
    European and international challenges, talked about the work done in
    the frames of the Armenian-French defence cooperation and discussed
    the prospects for cooperation. The RA Minister of Defence invited

    After the discussions the ministers of defence of the two countries
    signed an agreement about the Armenian-French bilateral defence
    cooperation, which will become a legal base for implementing military
    cooperation between the two countries.

    During the official reception organized after the signing ceremony
    the ministers of defence of Armenia and France made speeches. Seyran
    Ohanyan and E. Moghen underlined the importance of the official
    visit of the RA Minister of Defence to France and the signing of the
    cooperation document. They have noted the role of the French-Armenians

    countries. On the same day the RA Minister of Defence was received

    Defence and Internal Affairs under the National Assembly of France.

    They discussed the reforms in the defence sphere, the importance of
    developing mechanisms for civil and legal control over the armed
    forces, and they exchanged ideas about the challenges of regional
    security. On the 10th of February, in the frames of the visit, the
    RA Minister of Defence visited one of the most ancient and advanced
    military institutions -the Joint Defence College of France. Here the
    higher educational system of the French Armed Forces and the teaching
    methodology were introduced to the Armenian delegation.

    On the 10th of February the RA Minister of Defence also visited St.

    Hovhannes Mkrtich (Hovhannes the Baptist) cathedral in Paris where he
    met the clergymen and some representatives of the Armenian community
    in France. In his greeting speech Seyran Ohanyan underlined the
    importance of the role of belief and the Armenian Apostolic Church in
    the process of the RA army-building and training and educating the
    martial spirit of the militants. Then Seyran Ohanyan put a garland
    at the memorial of Komitas. On the same day, with the participation
    of the Armenian delegation, garlands were ceremonially put at Mont
