YEREVAN.- The Museum in Yerevan Mayor's Office hosts on Friday a
charity origami exhibition with proceeds to be sent to the Japanese
Embassy in Moscow to aid some children's institution in disaster-hit
Japan.
Several hundred of different types of origami were presented at the
exhibition organized by Hikari NGO. Some of them are made by children.
Ashot Voskanyan, head of Asia-Pacific and Africa Department at the
Armenian Foreign Ministry, said Japan provided assistance to Armenia
during the 1988 Spitak earthquake. Over the recent 20 years Armenia
also received credits and grants from Japan.
`We are grateful to Japan. It is a sign of friendship of two nations,' he added.
