On 27 December 2012, the Hayassa Chapter of Hamazkayin in Nancy, France, organized a gathering that, for the first time, brought together the local Armenians to celebrate the New Year together.
It was the first time that the students of the Armenian school gave a holiday performance in Armenian. Also, the Hayasa Dance Group performed several folk dances, directed by Hagop Aslanian.
The Armenian community in Nancy wishes Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all Armenians around the world, wishing them unity and success.
