    OSCE Yerevan Office marks Children's Day with multicultural concert


    YEREVAN, 1 June 2008 - Song and dance groups belonging to the
    Assyrian, Belarussian, Georgian, Greek, Yezidi, Jewish, Kurdish,
    Russian and Ukrainian minority communities of Armenia performed at a
    concert in Yerevan today.

    The event to mark International Children's Day was organized by the
    Georgian charity `Iveria' with support from the OSCE Office in
    Yerevan.

    `Today's concert is a good example of how to promote tolerance, mutual
    respect and understanding, and to develop a cultural dialogue and
    communication between the different national communities living in
    Armenia,' said Silvia Pogolsa, a Human Rights Officer at the OSCE
    Office.

    Svetlana Namchevadze, the President of `Iveria', added: `This concert
    was a good opportunity to focus on the rights of children. The event
    also helped enhance the capacity of the national minority
    representatives living in Armenia in preserving their culture and
    identity.'
