Summary:Which transmission carry in them the Armenians of the diaspora who accompany the President of the French Republic for a State visit in Armenia? The paper starts by questioning the particular acuity of what these heirs to the survivors of the Armenian genocide of 1915 feel when, 91 years later, the last witnesses leave them.
