    YEREVAN

    The Belarussian cultural festival in Armenia opened with a large
    concern of Belarussian masters of the arts in Yerevan Opera House on
    Friday. This is the first such festival from the time the two
    countries became independent.

    Armenian President Robert Kocharyan addressed a message of greetings
    to the participants in the festival, describing it as "a remarkable
    event in the cultural life of the two countries." "Belarussian
    culture evokes response in Armenian people," the message of greetings
    says. The president is also confident that "Armenian art is known and
    liked in Belarus."

    Pointing out that "Armenian-Belarussian ties have a long history,"
    the Armenian president expressed the confidence that "friendship and
    spiritual closeness of our peoples accumulated over many years have
    good prospects."

    "This remarkable fete presents vast achievements of masters of
    Belarussian culture and offers Armenian people an excellent
    opportunity to familiarize themselves with the richness of
    Belarussian culture," says the message of Belarussian President
    Alexander Lukashenko that was read out by the republic's Culture
    Minister Leonid Gulyako.

    "The peoples of Belarus and Armenia are linked by lasting sincere
    friendship and fruitful cooperation," Lukashenko noted. He is
    convinced that "no distances and borders can affect the strength of
    spiritual unity of the fraternal countries." The Belarussian
    president is sure that "the present cultural forum will promote the
    growing closeness of the peoples" of Armenia and Belarus.

    The Armenian president received Belarussian culture minister. They
    came out for the stepping up of bilateral ties in the area of
