YEREVAN, April 16. /ARKA/. Armenians living abroad and trying
to preserve their national identity can play an important role in
establishing international cultural dialogue, Levon Lazarian, acting
science and education minister, said on Tuesday.
"Armenia is now embarking on establishing intercultural dialogue with
South Caucasus countries. This is quite new initiative. That's why
some specification and standards are needed", he said at the ceremony
