    JACQUES CHIRAC TO SIGN DECREE ON AWARDING ARTUR BAGHDASARIAN "LEGION OF
    HONOUR"

    Azg/arm
    2 Dec 04

    On November 28, Unification for Nation Party led by Jacques Chirac
    held a congress. Mher Shahgeldian, head of National Security, Home
    Affairs and Defense Committee at RA National Assembly, representative
    of Orinats Yerkir Party, participated in the congress as a guest from
    Armenia. Over 40 thousand delegates from 60 countries participated in
    the congress. Mher Shahgeldian met with many of them, as well.

    Central democratic forces were represented at the congress. According
    to Mher Shahgeldian, Orinats Yerkir attracted great attention as a
    party bearing European values.

    Representatives of Armenian National Movement were also invited to the
    congress. David Shahnazarian represented the party in Paris.

    There have been practical arrangements on Orinats Yerkir's mutual
    visits and activities made at the congress, as well as on the future
    visit European Foundations' representatives to Yerevan. They are aimed
    to support legislatively our parliament. Jacques Chirac didn't
    participate in the congress. France's first lady and the Prime
    Minister were present at the congress.

    Mher Shahgeldian's visit to France was important for another reason,
    too. He returned with the news that Jacques Chirac has already signed
    the decree on awarding Artur Baghdasarian "Legion of Honor".

    In response to the question put by Azg Daily what services Artur
    Baghdasarian was awarded such a high rank medal for and whether the
    political figures of other countries were awarded the medal, Mher
    Shahgeldian said: "The medal is given for strengthening the
    French-Armenian relations and for his contribution to spreading the
    European values. There are political figures of other European
    countries that were given this medal, but they are not many."
