Street in Yerevan to be named after Henry Vernon
A delegation headed by Yerevan Mayor Taron Margaryan arrived in Marseille on June 21 to participate in the events marking the 20 anniversary of the friendship and cooperation treaty between the two cities.
Upon the arrival, the Yerevan mayor was received by his Marseille counterpart Jean-Claude Gaudin. The latter stressed that the cooperation between the two cities must be comprehensive and equivalent to the high-level relations.
Mr. Gaudin said they highly assess the friendly relations between the two cities and promised to take all necessary steps to further deepen these relations.
Taron Margaryan, in his turn, expressed gratitude for the official invitation saying that the 20-year long cooperation is another testimony of ancient-long friendship between Armenia and France.
On the same day, the Yerevan mayor met with the representatives of the French-Armenian Chamber of Commerce and Industry and representatives of business community.
Talking to Patrick Malakian, the son of French Armenian film director Henry Vernon, the Yerevan Mayor said the municipality is considering the issue of renaming a street in Yerevan in honour of the prominent film director. Patrick Malakian promised to assist projects underway in Yerevan.
Marseille has been a sister city with Yerevan since 1992.
