LOS ANGELES, AUGUST 19, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. The Armenian
sailer named Armenia will reach California on August 24. According
to a correspondent of Noyan Tapan, on the initiative of the Armenian
Consulate General of Los Angeles the sailer and its crew will be met
on that day in Los Angeles. It began its voyage round the world on
the Diasporan ways from Spanish Valencia city this year on May 28,
the Day of the First Republic of Armenia.
The Armenia sailer has already passed Gibraltar, the Atlantic Ocean,
Barbados Island, Panama Canal, then it will reach New Zealand,
Australia, Indian Ocean, Indonesian Islands, Singapore, Indian
Peninsula, the Persian Bay, the Red Sea, the Mediterranean Sea through
the Pacific Ocean. The end of the navigation will be Beirut.
The Armenia sailer will cast its anchor in San Pedro port. Captain Zori
Balayan and his crew are sure that passing through their ancestors’
ocean route will be a tie between Diaspora and Armenia. They are going
to make excavations in all continents to discover and present the
Armenian memorials, they will meet the Armenians living in Diaspora
who have created a small part of their Homeland by keeping all signs
of the culture.
Both our compatriots of Diaspora and foreigners will have an
opportunity to see the Armenia sailer at San Pedro port on August
24. The symbol of Eternity, the Armenian Cross, and the 36 letters of
Mashtots alphabet (the Armenian alphabet) are located in the middle
of the sailer.
"Our compatriots of California wait for the Armenia sailer from
Armenia with great triumph and enthusiasm", a correspondent of Noyan
Tapan reported from Los Angeles.
