ArmInfo.French President Emmanuel Macron sent a letter to his Armenian counterpart Armen Sarkissian, in which he said that starting from this year, April 24 is celebrated in the French Republic as the Day of Remembrance of the Armenian Genocide.

In order to be able to build a common destiny, you need to be able to look straight into the past by bowing before the memory of the dead and respecting the memories of the living. This is my conviction, and I know that Armenia also shares it. We are with you during your memory, we are also with you for the future of Armenia - now that a new page of its history is being created, which should become page of peace and prosperity ", the French president's letter reads.
