Today, French language specialists continue their trainings in cooperation with the Government of the Republic of Artsakh. But the classrooms are not optimal and large,”writes F. Rochebloine, noting that the center will have great role in the development of French. In particular, he added that the construction of the center will guarantee optimal teaching conditions.
