HENRY RENAULT: ARMENIA HAS ITS BASTILLE AND CAN'T AVOID IT
Ambassador of France to Armenia congratulated Armenia for being in
the last phase of reconciliation with Europe. He said that it is a
very important achievement. Henry Renault noted that France has never
doubted Armenia's ability to fulfill its mission. According to him,
the Association Agreement will be a further impetus to Armenia-EU
relations. The French ambassador says EU is Armenia's number one
economic partner.
Henry Renault avoided answering whether he sees pressure by Russia
on Armenia saying that as an ambassador he can't comment. As to the
Association Agreement, it opens prospects for Armenia, but it will
never create obstacles for Armenia's relations with other countries,
including Russia. For France, Russia is a leading economic partner.
The French ambassador noted that the Armenian-French relations are
at a very high level. He attached importance to the French active
participation in OSCE Minsk Group activities. According to the
ambassador, France is the leading Western investor in Armenia. There
are things to do in the trade sphere in terms of export from France
to Armenia.
Henry Renault dwelt on revolutions noting that the storming of the
Bastilles is a continuous movement which never stops. As to freedom
and democracy, they need to get concretized and purified always.
The ambassador of France attached importance to the role of women in
the storming of the Bastilles. Renault said that every country has
its Bastille and Armenia is unable to get rid of it or avoid it. "Not
only Armenia needs reforms. All countries always need them", he said.
