A press release from the RA Foreign Ministry informs that an Armenian class
opened at the 85th secondary school of Kiev. The opening ceremony drew the
Armenian ambassador to Ukraine, clergies from the Ukrainian diocese of the
Armenian Church and members of the Armenian community. Ambassador Armen
Khachatrian and head of the Ukrainian diocese Archbishop Grigoris Buniatian
spoke about Armenia’s past and present, its culture and Armenian-Ukrainian
friendship. The newly opened Armenian class will teach Armenian language,
history and geography to 35 pupils. The graduation documents will include
grades on these subjects.

The Armenian embassy in Kiev handed the class Armenian textbooks and the
Armenian community presented a TV and a videocassette recorder.
