"Cilicia" Armenian vessel ship arrived in the Lithuanian Klaipeda
port to leave for Stockholm from there. Zory Balayan, famous Armenian
writer and public figure informed about this.
The Armenian Kingdom of Cilicia had established very close relations
with the Baltic states. Lithuania was no exclusion. The Armenian
merchants and craftsmen settled down in Lithuania many centuries
ago. But "Cilicia" arrived in Klaipeda not only paying tribute to our
ancestors. The sailors decided to arrive in this port as three of the
crew members served in the army in the Baltic states and visited this
port for many times.
According to Mr. Balayan, the Klaipeda based newspapers covered the
arrival of the ship in the port very well. Besdies, the local Armenian
community members organized a warm welcoming meeting for the sailors of
"Cilicia." Konstantin Motenov, head of "Lloyd's Register" international
classification organization for registration of vessel ships, gave
a certificate to "Cilicia," according to which the Armenian ship may
sail all the seas and the oceans of the world. Mr. Balayan informed
that "Cilicia" will leave for Stockholm from Klaipeda.
