haven't talked to any of my colleagues about that yet. That's why I
can't comment on that," he mentioned, as "Armenpress" reports.

and musicians to urge the international community to recognize and
condemn the Armenian Genocide, Kissin said: "I'll try to find out how
I can do that, and I will do it. It's a good proposal, thank you,"
Kissin said. In response to a question on his visit to Yerevan on
