    Armenians' Union in Russia marks 5th anniversary

    16.06.2005, 14.03

    MOSCOW, June 16 (Itar-Tass) - The Armenians' Union in Russia observes
    its fifth anniversary this Thursday. The union absorbed several hundred
    small national organizations that exerted efforts to preserve national
    Armenian culture in Russia.

    Ara Abramyan, the president of the Armenians' Union in Russia,
    told a news conference at Itar-Tass, "A new stage set in in the
    life of Armenians in Russia from the moment the All-Russian national
    public organization of Armenians formed, the stage linked with the
    consolidation of the age-old national traditions."

    Abramyan said, "The union faces a difficult task of promoting the
    integration of hundreds of thousands of Armenians who came from
    Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia into the linguistic, social, economic
    and cultural medium of Russia."

    "We also aim for the further consolidation of relations between Russia
    and Armenia," Abramyan said.

    The highlight of the celebration will be a concert of the Armenian
    song and dance ensemble at the International House of Music in Moscow
    on Thursday evening.
