In Moldova an Armenian Sabbath-School aft. Mesrop Mashtots opened with
22 pupils’ staff, of this the elders are 75 years old, told chief of
the Armenian community in Moldova Venera Gasparyan who is on visit
to Armenia.

"There operate Armenian dance and song classes, the theatre faculty,
and some others. We wear Armenian National Costume in classes,"
she said.

The Armenian Sabbath-School aft. Mesrop Mashtots opened in Moldavian
capital city of Chisinau on October 24 2009 providing the opportunity
for Armenian Community members locally to meet and study Armenian
subjects. Since before the only opportunity to learn Armenian was
family ‘classes’.

"We are preparing to open a Sabbath-School in New Aneni where live 40
Armenian families and we already have 15 student applications. The
classes will temporary be organized at general school until we open
an Armenian Sabbath-School in New Aneni in the near future," said
Venera Gasparyan.

Chief of the Staff of the Ministry for Diaspora Affairs, Artak
Zakaryan, provided the Sabbath-School with books, and CDs, and other
necessary stuff for studding and learning Armenian subjects. But
number of pupils increase, so these text-books are not enough, said
Mrs. Gasparyan.
