YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 26, ARMENPRESS: Armenian and Slovakian culture
ministers Hasmik Poghosian and Marek Madjaric signed today a
cooperation agreement which supposes restoration and development of
cultural ties between the two countries.
Armenian culture minister underscored the signing of the agreement
as it is not only an expected document for the consolidation of
cultural ties but will also give an opportunity to the two peoples
to get acquainted with each other’s history, art and culture.
"The arrangements registered in the agreement will not remain on the
paper only they will be implemented by all means as the two sides
are interested in doing it," she said.
According to the signed agreement, it is expected to conduct in
Bratislava days of Armenian film, as well as organize exhibition of
collages of Sergey Parajanov. The performances of Al. Spendiarian
Opera and Ballet Theatre are also expected to be organized in Slovakia.
In 2010-2011 it is expected to organize days of culture in Armenia and
Slovakia. The Armenian Philharmonic Orchestra has already performed
in Slovakia.
Slovakian minister said that the agreement is based on the friendly
relations between Slovak and Armenian peoples.
"There is a big Armenian community in Slovakia, we are acquainted
with the Armenian film, but we are not aware of the Armenian theatre
and literature and would like to be introduced to it as well," he said.
The Slovakian minister said that the new cooperation will not start
with great projects but first small ones will be carried out.
