    musician Jivan Gasparyan. The two other buildings, near Saint Hovhannes
    church, will be renovated to house a kindergarten for hearing-impaired
    children and unmarried mothers and their children.

    One more building will be constructed in Scotland. Armen Sargsyan said
    that philanthropists from other countries are involved in the program.

    He stressed that it will be a long-term program. As to whether he
    will return to Armenia, A. Sargsyan said that he left his Homeland
    for a while and on business. He reported that the motto of the next
    program is "My love, Gyumri."
