Yerevan, July 1. ArmInfo. The ceremonial closing of the 2nd All
Armenian Cultural Festival "One Nation. One Culture" took place Friday
evening in the Republic Square in Yerevan. The ceremony was followed
by a concert program and fireworks.

Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan addressed the participants
and organizers of the festival: "The festival once more proved that
the centuries- long history, culture and art of Armenia are great

another force," he said. On behalf of President Robert Kocharyan,

completed. In his turn, the interpreter, poet Avet Barseghyan said
