Hakobian on January 12 received a couple from Russia – Saribek Danoyan
(Perm) and Siranush Abrahamian (Chelyabinsk) as well as their relatives
who have come to perform a wedding in Armenia.
Ms. Hakobian thanked the couple for responding to "Marriage with My
Homeland’s Blessing" initiative of the RA Ministry of Diaspora. She
reminded the young couple about important precepts – to respect
each other and one’s parents, have at least three children, to keep
up the traditions of an Armenian family and remain true to one’s
roots. The minister added that they should pass these precepts on
to their children and grandchildren. Hranush Hakobian presented the
bride with a watch, saying that their family should not forget "to
return to the Homeland on time".

Canadian Armenians Hakob Apachian and Tsovik Latoyan were the
first couple to respond to "Marriage with My Homeland’s Blessing"
initiative. Their wedding took place in Yerevan on 11 July 2009.
