into account such an important event as the opening of the Armenian

cooperation between Armenia and Russia is not a temporary political
state of affairs and not a mercantile intention, but reflection of
the natural situation in the mutual relations between our states
and two peoples",- Sargsyan stressed and added that only by means

the extremely important postulate repeated during the meetings with

The president also thanked Honorary Consul of Armenia to Kaliningrad
region, Director General of "Lukoil", Chairman of the Board of
Trustees of the Armenian Regional National Cultural Autonomy Yuri
Khojoyan. "Not everyone can build a church - a spiritual cultural
center. This is not a matter of money, a lot of people have huge
resources but don't do that",- Sargsyan said.

and art albums published in Armenia over the past two years. Serzh
Sargsyan instructed the Armenian ministers of Culture and Diaspora
