    application to provide Armenia a pavilion of 1000 square meters `
    three times more, than at the previous expositions of `Expo' in
    Hannover and Aichi.

    numerous discussion, its topic is already defined - `Armenians in
    world cities'.

    We intend to choose the most extraordinary project to attract maximum
    attention of the visitors, since at `Expo-2010' we are to compete with
    many countries, in particular, with Japan, the exposition of which
    will be located next to ours', Karen Aghamyan stated.

    Within the framework of the exposition, the Day of Armenia will take
    place, during which the presence of top leadership of the country is
    expected.

    and will welcome all interesting ideas.

    May-October, 2010. Its topic is `Better City, Better Life'.
