On the first day of the official visit to France, President of the Republic of Armenia, Serzh Sargsyan, visited a display of renowned artist Jansem’s works at the Matignon Gallery.”
President Sargsyan congratulated the artist on his 90th birthday, and awarded him with an Order of Honor for his significant contribution to the reinforcement of the Armenian-French friendship.
Jansem said during the conversation with President Sargsyan that although he lives in France, he has always been with Armenia with his mind and heart, and that is the reason why he can help crying every time he visits Armenia. The Armenian artist confessed that he feels pity that his sons and grandsons do not speak Armenian.
Serzh Sargsyan assured that “maintaining the Armenian spirit is the most important for staying an Armenian." For that purpose Armenia has created the Ministry of Diaspora, which actively cooperates with Armenian communities on issues of maintenance of the Armenian language and culture.
The Armenian artist last visited the motherland ten years ago, but even far from Armenia he follows the events here.
