    Today, President Serzh Sargsyan received the world-famous French
    actor Gerard Depardieu who has arrived to Armenia in the framework
    of the Second International Karot festival.

    Welcoming the renowned guest, President Sargsyan expressed gratitude
    to all those who promote the Armenian culture. According to Serzh
    Sargsyan, the very participation of Gerard Depardieu in this festival
    is great support for the Armenian culture.

    "We, Armenians are in general very emotional people. We view ourselves
    as a culture-loving nation and believe that culture is the core of our
    national identity. We constantly receive impulses and signals from that
    core, from our the roots and these signals sustain our resilience,"
    the President of Armenia said, stressing that there is hardly anyone
    in Armenia who wouldn't know Gerard Depardieu.

    At the meeting with the President of Armenia, the famous actor noted
    that he knows very well all those Armenians living in France who
    survived the Genocide and their descendents. "I am too very proud and
    thankful to be here, in Armenia. Here I feel like an Armenian. With
    time I came to know many Armenians living in France, who after the
    Genocide of 1915 were able to go on living and rebuilt their lives
    thanks to their culture and resilience. I know all the members
    of the Armenian community and their children. They are directors
    and film makers like Anri Vernoy, artists like Jansem, singer and
    composers like Charles Aznavour. That's why I responded with pleasure
    to the invitation of the Armenian Fund for Cultural Development,
    especially after seeing pictures of your country. When a country has
    such long-established traditions and amazing geography it means that
    the Armenians have a very tolerant, generous and rich nature."
