Project: An Armenian Building on Faith" project in the Gegharkunik

their house, the house of unity, the house symbolizing the great
kindness of human being.

"Let your hearts be filled with love to energize you during the whole
building process, and let this love pass to every generations, that
will live in this building"- said Very Rev. Father during the
blessing.
