On January 12 the mayor of Yerevan Karen Karapetyan received the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of France to the Republic of Armenia Henry Reno. First, the Ambassador congratulated  Karen Karapetyan on being elected the mayor of Yerevan and wished him  success in his important mission. Greeting the guests the mayor of Yerevan noted that the relations between Yerevan and French cities should get a new impulse. According to the mayor, there are several programs and cooperation agreements between Yerevan and Lyons, Marseille, Paris, Nice which must be put on practical basis. “I attach great importance to international cooperation and  I shall be consistent in the implementation of all those programs”, emphasized the mayor of Yerevan.
Karen Karapetyan presented the guest his approaches concerning the elaboration of new, efficient model  of the capital management. “ We intend to apply in Yerevan a new, coordinated, tree-level management culture : municipality, administrative districts and condominiums.  In this  issue any exchange of advanced experience is important for us. Taking into account the way that French cities have passed in different spheres of city management, we want to use this experience in Yerevan”, noted Karen Karapetyan.

According to Henry Reno, a number of  large French cities have already used the methods of city government mentioned by the mayor of Yerevan and achieved much success in different fields.  The ambassador noted that in the future French Embassy will  take concrete steps to give a new impulse to the cooperation in different  spheres between the cities of the two countries. The mayor of Yerevan emphasized the importance of entry of French companies to Yerevan. «Concerning the substructures of the city we guarantee to create the most convenient business environment for investors», highlighted the mayor of Yerevan.
The problems related to the activity of French company «Veolia water» and  «Yerevan jur» company were also discussed during the meeting. The mayor noted that  the quality of water supply in the capital is still far from being satisfactory. «The dynamics of the positive changes in the company is not satisfactory, there is too much waste, the collection  rate does not satisfy, either”, said the mayor of Yerevan.
On the mayor’s instruction a discussion will be held with the participation of the interested parties: “Yerevan jur” company, the municipality, Water Committee and Public Services Regulating Commission, during which the deeds  and liabilities of the parties will be cleared. Such discussions are to take place every month.
