The first Christian state of the world
Russian Ambassador to Armenia Vyacheslav Kovalenko says the first
tourism campaign held in Armenia from September 30 to October 9 was
a success. During the past ten days students of the Tourism Academies
of Armenia and Russia visited different places of interests in Armenia
to familiarize with the historical-cultural values of our country.
According to the Ambassador, the friendly ties between the Armenian
and Russian peoples have centuries-old history. "Armenia has much to
show to the world. At last, Armenia was the first to adopt Christianity
as state religion," he added.
"This tourism campaign was the best way to communicate with the
Armenian nation. It allowed us to get to know each other and opened the
unknown pages of the Armenian history to the Russian people. We learnt
much about Christianity during this campaign," the Ambassador noted.
Rector of the Russian Tourism Academy Igor Zorin noted that "the
world knows little about the historical-cultural heritage of Armenia."
"Every visitor should know that Armenia was the first country to
adopt Christianity," he added.
The aspects of bilateral cooperation
The Armenian-Russian Intergovernmental Commission will convene
its regular sitting in Yerevan on October 12. The meeting will be
co-chaired by Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan and Russian
Transport Minister Maksim Sokolov.
According to Russian Ambassador Vyacheslav Kovalenko, the Commission
will discuss the most urgent issues of bilateral cooperation ranging
from economic and military-technical to cultural cooperation.
"The Armenian-Russian relations are on a high level in all aspects,"
the Ambassador said.
The second Armenian-Russian inter-regional forum will also be held
in Yerevan. Sixteen delegations from Russian regions have applied
for participation in the event. All guests will visit the marzes of
Armenia to discuss the opportunities of expansion of trade-economic
ties on the spot.
Besides, Yerevan will host "5 days of Russian speech," which will
bring together different Russian-speaking specialists to discuss
issues of educational, methodological and cultural cooperation.
