    Vessel Armenia is expected to arrive to Limassol (Cyprus) on August
    11 at 7:00 p.m. local time, reposts "Cyprus Mail".

    Limassol will be the final destination for vessel's epic world trip,
    started on May 18, 2009 in Valencia, Spain.

    The crew consists of seven Armenians including writer, traveler
    and human rights activist Zori Balayan. Its mission is to increase
    worldwide awareness about former maritime power of Armenian Kingdom
    of Cilicia (1080-1375), which had special links to Cyprus of Lusignan
    Dynasty.

    The vessel is dedicated to Saint Mesrob Mashdotz who invented the
    Armenian alphabet in 405 AD and the 1700th anniversary of Christianity
    in Armenia. Thirty seven letters of the Armenian alphabet, the Armenian
    Cross and Armenian symbol of eternity are featured on its hull.

    Armenia's arrival in Limassol coincides with 20th anniversary of
    independence of the Republic of Armenia and will be marked by special
    ceremony with participation of President of Cyprus Demetris Christofias
    and his Armenian Counterpart Serzh Sargsyan.
