French Ambassador to Armenia Jonathan Lacôte has issued a New Year message, wishing Armenia peace and security. The message reads: Dear Armenian friends, At the end of 2020, full of so many trials for Armenia, I am primarily thinking of the families in whose homes one of the chairs around the table will be empty. Now is not the time to celebrate, but more than ever I would like to share the hope that this country continues to inspire me. I wish Armenia to live in peace and security, without fear of seeing its youth return to the front lines. I wish Armenia, which measures its history in millennia, to have confidence in its future. I wish Armenia to never doubt its beauty, strengths and talents. I wish the Armenians to avoid discord and savage winds. I wish Armenians to look together in the same direction. I wish Armenians to be proud to pass this country on to their children. I wish France to be by Armenia’s side. I wish France to remember what the Armenians have given it. I wish the French to come to Armenia or sometimes turn their gaze there. And I wish the French to always love Armenia as Armenia loves us. I wish everyone a 2021 year of peace, happiness and prosperity.
