    YEREVAN, May 21. /ARKA/. In the framework of the year of France in
    Armenia special commemorative stamps are to be issued jointly by
    HayPost and La Poste on May 22, 2007.

    Public Relations Coordinator, Haypost Trust Management CJSC, Zara
    Tonapetyan reported that the First Day Issue will be celebrated at
    at 13.00 hours at the Embassy of France in Armenia. A parallel event
    will be also held in Paris, France.

    The stamps issued have a value of 350 AMD and 70 AMD in Armenia and
    0.85EUR and 0.54EUR in France. The stamps represent the fragments
    of the famous spiritual art and pieces of Armenia and France. The
    Armenian stamp is a fragment of a manuscript "Nativity" of 15th
    century Lectionary, which is currently kept in Matenadaran. The
    French stamp has a fragment of the famous "Smiling Angel" statue,
    part of ensemble of the Our Lady of Rheims Catholic Cathedral, which
    dates also 15th century.

    "We are very proud and excited that HayPost, the National Postal
    Operator of Armenia, can contribute to the year of France in Armenia",
    says Hans Boon, the Trust Manager of HayPost CJSC. " Stamps are
    much more than the traditional means of payment for transporting a
    letter. Stamps express a message to the whole world, and we are glad
    that the joint issue is such a perfect demonstration of the long-term
    and intense friendship between the nations of France and Armenia, both
    with a rich culture. We trust that the issue of the stamp encourages
    to personal communications between the two nations and all others.

    Starting January 2007 the exclusive right of issuance of the postal
    stamps has been transferred to HayPost CJSC- Armenian National Postal
    Operator.

    "HayPost" CJSC is the National Postal Operator of the Republic

    In compliance with the agreement signed on November 30, 2006 the
    management of the operations of the Armenian National Postal Operator
