President of the Republic Armen Sarkissian sent a congratulatory message to Emmanuel Macron, the President of the French Republic, on his birthday.

President Armen Sarkissian’s message particularly says:

"I appreciate your personal contribution to the strengthening of friendly relations and deepening mutually beneficial cooperation between Armenia and France.

The centuries-old friendship between the peoples of Armenia and France and the high-level dialogue between our countries have the significant potential of further expanding the existing cooperation.

I am full of hope that through joint efforts, we will contribute to developing a comprehensive Armenian-French agenda and to implementing new initiatives.

Armenia highly appreciates the consistent efforts of France, as a co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group, aimed at strengthening lasting peace in the region, and in particular, your personal participation.

Of special appraisal is France's attention to the issues of the Armenian prisoners of war, protecting the historical-cultural heritage of Artsakh under the control of Azerbaijan, as well as providing significant assistance to the Armenians of Artsakh."
