built by analogy with merchant ships of the 13th century will sail
towards Scandinavian countries, then through the Baltic Sea to Saint
Petersburg. According to him, the “Cilicia” vessel will continue the
navigation along Russian channels, Volga river, the Sea of Azof and
will enter the Black Sea. Then the vessel will be moved to the Sevan
Lake and turned into a museum. K.Danielian mentioned that members
of the vessel crew will leave for London on May 14 to prepare for
the last stage of the navigation. To recap, “Cilicia” sailed along

went into the Atlantic Ocean in 2005, then sailing round Portugal,
Spain and other European countries, reached London.
