Yerevan, which has a centuries-long history, embracing glory and
memories of all our capitals of the past - Van, Armavir, Ervandashen,
Artashat, Tigranakert, Vagharshapat, Dvin, Bagaran, Shirakavan, Kars
and Ani, has become a symbol of the world-spread Armenian nation's
eternity and its future.
Hence, it is our sacred duty to preserve and protect the throbbing
heart of our nation, making it more beautiful and prosperous by day.'

Union the President of Armenia sat down at the tea table with the
intellectuals. Later, he handed awards to the winners of the literary
