Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan yesterday took time off from the election hustings to visit an exhibition of Georgian Armenian Artists entitled "The Homeland's call".
The exhibition of Georgian Armenian artists’ works is being held at the premises of the Armenian Artists’ Union and is organised by the Diaspora Ministry.
The president was accompanied by the Mayor of Yerevan, Taron Margaryan; Diaspora Minister Hranush Hakobyan; Deputy Foreign Minister Shavarsh Kocharyan, the Director of Sergey Parajanov house-museum Zaven Sargsyan and others.
There are hundreds of thousands of Georgians of Armenian origin living in Tbilisi, Batumi, Samskhe-Javakheti and other parts of Georgia and they form an important part of the economic and cultural heritage of the country. The relationship between the community and Georgian society is not always without problems and a number of outstanding issues continue to require the attention of the two governments.
