Visit of the RA President to UK is a momentous event, RA Ambassador
to UK Vahe Gabrielyan told NEWS.am.

"And events attended by Serzh Sargsyan prove this. All of them are
momentous and very crucial from meeting with Queen Elizabeth II to
charity dinner with participation of Prince Charles, proceeds of
which will go to the restoration of four buildings in the centre of
Yerevan, including opening of Arshile Gorky exhibition. A token of
deep respect was a visit of British Foreign Secretary David Miliband
to London residency of Armenian President, as Sargsyan was in the
country on a working visit," diplomat outlined.

Speaking of Armenian community in UK, Gabielyan stated that precise
number of Armenians in the country is unavailable. "Armenian population
living in Great Britain is estimated from 10.000 to 20.000," he said
adding that the embassy closely cooperates with local community. "Often
Armenians apply with questions on passport and visa issues, whereas the
&’old’ community members come up the cultural questions or requests
to give political clarifications," Gabielyan emphasized. He also
maintained that Armenian community in UK displays keen interest in
issues on Armenia-Turkey relations.
