Armenia's foreign minister Edward Nalbandian met today with the crew
of Armenia sailing vessel and awarded them the ministry's medal in
recognition of their successful completion of the circumnavigation,
the ministry told ARKA today.
The round the world expedition kicked off May 28, 2009 in the Spanish
port of Valencia, and ended August 11, 2011 in Cyprus. The vessel
visited all the ports with Armenian communities.
Welcoming the crew members, Nalbandian congratulated them on the
successful completion of their mission, adding that the trip was a
kind of a navigation map of the Armenian communities of Diaspora.
"Your hard mission was a great support to strengthening ties between
Armenia and its vast Diaspora," said Nalbandian.
Crew members shared their memories and impressions of the meetings in
different countries. Expedition leader Zori Balayan expressed gratitude
for the extensive support provided by the Armenian diplomatic missions
around the world.
Armenia vessel dropped anchor in the ports on five continents, drifted
on the waters of Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans, visiting 23
countries and making 42,000 miles.
