The true attitude of «friendly» France towards the Armenian people.
PhotosVisa queues and related inconveniences have long put Armenian citizens in a difficult position. Many citizens face visa queues and a number of other problems. It would seem that the above problems should not exist in the case of the Embassy of the French Republic, which calls itself an ally and friendly country to Armenia, after all, it is the French who declare that they have a special relationship with the Armenian people.
However, this special attitude is manifested in the fact that the staff of the embassy of a friendly country, even in case of bad weather conditions, force citizens who apply to this institution to stand in line for hours in front of the embassy door, freezing from dampness and cold. It is unclear what the problem is and what prevents the embassy staff from furnishing the premises in such a way that Armenian citizens do not have to go through such humiliations. It is surprising that the country that built the Eiffel Tower, the Louvre and Notre Dame is not able to equip the reception area on the territory of the embassy in accordance with modern requirements.
Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of France to Armenia Olivier Decottini often shares episodes on his official pages on social networks, which, according to him, reflect the real attitude of France towards the friendly Armenian people. Meanwhile, in our opinion, it is this photo that best speaks about the true attitude. Let's hope that French officials will reconsider their "special" attitude towards Armenian citizens and begin to receive them properly.
