PanARMENIAN.Net – The Russian embassy in Armenia is making its best
effort to cause Armenians to return to their homeland, the Russian
Ambassador to Armenia said.

Summing up the results of the first Armenian-Russian scientific
tourism expedition, Vladislav Kovalenko expressed hope for the event
to promote closer ties between the two countries, also attracting the
interest of Russian Armenians who’ve never been to their native land.

The first Armenian-Russian scientific tourism expedition was organized
under the aegis of the Economy Ministry and Russian Embassy. The
expedition route covered the cities of Yerevan, Gyumri, Dilijan,
Sevan, Goris, Kapan, Meghri, Oshakan and Etchmiadzin.
