    ArmInfo. Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan participated in the
    ribbon-cutting ceremony of Armenian Cultura Center in Kaliningrad
    region of Russia.

    ArmInfo correspondent reports from Kaliningrad that Governor of
    Kaliningrad region Georgy Boos, Armenian Diaspora Minister Hranush
    Hakobyan, Armenian Agriculture Minister Gerasim Alaverdyan and Mayor
    of Yerevan Gagik Beglaryan also attended the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

    The Armenian president made a speech before the Armenian Diaspora
    representatives. "I am glad to be in Kaliningrad, especially taking
    into account such an important event as the opening of the Armenian
    Cultural Center. Creation of such a center shows that strategic
    cooperation between Armenia and Russia is not a temporary political
    state of affairs and not a mercantile intention, but reflection of
    the natural situation in the mutual relations between our states
    and two peoples",- Sargsyan stressed and added that only by means
    of direct communication it is possible to make everyone understand
    the extremely important postulate repeated during the meetings with
    Armenian Diaspora for many times: "If you want to be a good Armenian,
    be a worthy citizen of the country you live in".

    S.Sargsyan thanked the Russian leadership in the person of President
    Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin for the support in
    implementation of such undertakings as creation of Armenian cultural
    spiritual centers in Russia. Sargsyan thanked Governor of Kaliningrad
    region Georgy Boos for the consistency in his actions and development
    of ties between Armenia and Kaliningrad region. The president expressed
    hope that Boos will shortly visit Armenia, and they will sum up the
    results of the work done in 2009 and outline the new plans.

    The president also thanked Honorary Consul of Armenia to Kaliningrad
    region, Director General of "Lukoil", Chairman of the Board of
    Trustees of the Armenian Regional National Cultural Autonomy Yuri
    Khojoyan. "Not everyone can build a church - a spiritual cultural
    center. This is not a matter of money, a lot of people have huge
    resources but don't do that",- Sargsyan said.

    To note, the president brought for the new center collected books
    and art albums published in Armenia over the past two years. Serzh
    Sargsyan instructed the Armenian ministers of Culture and Diaspora
    to take this center under their patronage.

    To recall, this is the president's third visit to the regions of
    Russia. Earlier Sargsyan visited Orenburg and Rostov.

    To note, today Serzh Sargsyan laid wreaths at the Armenian khachkar
    (cross-stone). On behalf of Governor of Kaliningrad region Georgy Boos,
    an official dinner party will be given in the Armenian president's
    honor. Nov 11 evening the Armenian delegation headed by Serzh Sargsyan
    will return to Yerevan.
