ArmInfo. The Bulgarian Embassy in Armenia, in partnership with the Anatole France French Lycee, held a series of events within the framework of the Francophonie Days, which have started in the country.

Today, students from the Lycee held a poetry hour at the Bulgarian  diplomatic mission in Yerevan. They recited works by famous Bulgarian  poets in both Bulgarian and French. Some of the works were  accompanied by musical performances by the Lycee students. In his  opening remarks, Bulgarian Ambassador to Armenia Nikola Nikolov  expressed gratitude to everyone in attendance for their participation  in this important even for  popularizing the French language. The  event was attended by diplomats from Francophone countries accredited  in Yerevan, representatives from the Armenian Ministry of Foreign  Affairs, the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture, and Sports, the  Lyceum's administration and teaching staff, and parents of the  Lyceum's students.

Within the framework of the Francophonie Days in Armenia,  the  Embassy of the Republic of Bulgaria in Yerevan, in cooperation with  the Anatole France French Lyceum, organized a table tennis  tournament.  Ambassador Nikola Nikolov encouraged the participants to  remain as determined and driven as ever toward success and high  achievements. He thanked the director of French Lyceum for the  excellent partnership, the commitment and enthusiasm shown by both  the school administration and the students and friends of French  language and culture in Yerevan. The event not only promotes sports  and a healthy lifestyle but also helps build and maintain friendships  outside the school and work environments. Nikola Nikolov noted that  the goal is to have other future joint initiatives with the French  Lyceum that will help students freely demonstrate their skills and  give them the opportunity to develop and gain confidence in their  knowledge and abilities.

Ambassador Nikolov awarded medals to the winners, and certificates  were handed out to all other participants in the tournament.
