the French land. It has always been a connecting link between our two
cities, Yerevan and Marseilles,' Mayor of Marseilles Jan-Clod Goden

about the cooperation and friendly relations between our two

in different fields. `When I came to Yerevan, I felt like
surrounded with fellows since I have many Armenian friends in
Marseilles,' Mr. Goden said.
