On September 21-23 "Cilicia" will reach the territory of the historical
Cilicia. Alexander Margarian, member of "Ayas" Marine Research Club,
informed Azg Daily about this. He sailed on the ship till Athens. At
present, he is in Armenia and is coordinating the works on the
shore. "Cilicia" is sailing to Syria, Latakia, from Beirut. He will
leave for the historical Ayas, Korikos. The sailors say there is almost
nothing today in Korikos. But sailing by the coasts of Cilicia is a
tribute to our history, ancestors and a display of historical interest.
"We will receive permission to enter the harbor just before approaching
it," Alexander Margarian said. "No problems occurred till now. I am
hopeful we will not have them this time too," he added. In case of
getting the permission, the ship will find shelter in the harbor,
if not they will merely sail around "the Armenian waters." After this
voyage of tribute in the marine territory of the historical Cilicia
the ship will return to Athens.
