A khachkar has been placed in the garden adjacent to the City Hall of the French city Plessis Robinson as a token of friendship between sister cities.

Mayors of some neighbouring towns, representatives of the Armenian community of France, as well as the granddaughter of Andranik Ozanyan were present at the event too.
The participants of the solemn ceremony mentioned that this event is another evidence of the friendship between the two cities which getting stronger year by year. In his speech the Mayor of Plessis Robinson thanked the Mayor of Yerevan Taron Margaryan for such a wonderful present. “Unfortunately, there hasn’t been any khachkar in our city up to now, so I am glad that this present from Mayor Taron Margaryan has filled this gap and we already have a khachkar which is both of spiritual and cultural value”, said Philip Pemezek.
By the way, Plessis Robinson is one of those few cities where the flags of France and Armenia will always be flapping in front of its City Hall.
