Today Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan had a meeting with the crew of
"Armenia" vessel, led by the head of the expedition Zori Balayan,
after their tour around the world.
The Prime Minister greeted the guests and congratulated them on the
successful completion of the journey, noting that he had followed
all the stages of the tour. "We are glad that you managed to carry
out everything that had been planned. You've had numerous meetings
with the representatives of the Armenian Diaspora, visited Armenian
historical-cultural centers in many countries, giving us an opportunity
to once again reinvent the rich historical heritage of our people
all around the world," the Prime Minister said.
As the Prime Minister noted, the crew of "Armenia" vessel has expanded
the geography of the Armenian nation with their journey, discovering
long forgotten places, where Armenian life and spirit has been present
for many centuries. The Prime Minister expressed hope that the members
of the expedition would summarize the results of their tour in the
form of documentary materials as a report on the Armenian history
for the future generations by means of a round-the-world journey.
Zori Balayan told Tigran Sargsyan about the boating course,
the challenges they had encountered, as well as the achievements
of the expedition. According to the head of the expedition, the
journey has especially been of great importance to contribute to the
preservation of Armenian identity in Diaspora and to the accounting
and documentation of Armenian cultural values all around the world.
"Armenia" vessel started its round-the-world journey in 2009 March 28
from Valencia, Spain. The vessel crossed 23 countries, two equators,
42 miles, which is almost 82 thousand km.
