Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan visited the German city of
Mainz, where he met with Kurt Beck, Prime Minister of the
Rheinland-Pfalz Land. The sides discussed the opportunities for
bilateral cooperation, particularly in the fields of agriculture,
tourism and pharmaceutics.
The Prime Minister participated in the opening of the exhibition in
Gutenberg Museum dedicated to the 500th anniversary of Armenian
printing. Thanking the Prime Minister of Rheinland-Pfalz and the Mayor
of Mainz for participating in the event, Tigran Sargsyan noted it was
a great honor for him to be present at the marvelous exhibition.
According to the Prime Minister, printing was more for Armenia than a
tool of enlightenment and revival. The book and print press, education
and culture helped the Armenian national maintain its identity under
the conditions of lack of statehood.
`Printing and the creation of the Armenian alphabet at the turn of the
5th century created a solid basis for the future cultural and
spiritual development of the Armenian people,' the Prime Minister
said.
Tigran Sargsyan expressed gratitude to the Gutenberg Museum for the
exceptional opportunity to present the Armenian culture to the German
society.
