The picture of Ararat hangs on the wall in the office of the Rector of the French University in Armenia, Jean-Marc Lavest.
Aravot.am asked whether the picture is chosen on purpose. “This picture is the present of the Engineering University. By the way, I “have” Ararat from my window as well, and on this picture… Armenians have been able of persuading the whole world that Ararat is theirs. Ararat is a history for me, it first and foremost is connected with Noah’s ark and centuries. I have told to a lot of people that despite Armenians have lost territories in the course of time, they are an ancient nation. Armenians are associated with Ararat,” explained Jean-Marc Lavest.
