The Hurriyet's report that French President Francois Hollande
will visit Armenia on April 24, on the Armenian Genocide Victims
Commemoration Day, may be a provocation, Tigran Balayan, Armenian
Foreign Ministry Spokersperson told ArmInfo.
Earlier, citing sources in the Elysee, Hurriyet reported that French
President Francois Hollande is planning to visit Armenia on April 24,
the date Armenians commemorate the Armenian Genocide. Hollande accepted
the invitation of Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan in November 2012
to visit Armenia in 2013, Hurriyet reported, adding that Hollande
aims to issue a "strong genocide message" to the Armenian community
living in France before local elections in 2014.
"The Foreign Ministry of Armenia traditionally informs the public
and Mass Media of forthcoming visits of diplomats to the country at
the proper time," Tigran Balayan said.
Earlier, Foreign Minister of Armenia Edward Nalbandian said in a
joint press conference with his Latvian counterpart Edgars Rinkevics
that after the visit of Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan to France
an arrangement was made on a state visit of the French President
Francois Hollance to Armenia in 2013.
