President of Slovenia Danilo Turk and First Lady Barbara Miklic Turk
are set to visit Armenia in the coming days, according to Armenia’s
Ministry of Culture. The Slovenian president has said that cultural
cooperation will be dominant among the other three areas of cooperation
to be discussed during the visit.

Barbara Miklic Turk, in turn, referred to the Armenian Festival
in Slovenia.

"First of all, I want to say that all those present at the opening
ceremony of the festival and the exhibit were delighted with the
presentation. Ancient ceremonial clerical objects, outfits, female
embroidered clothes and ornaments, other exhibit samples leave an
indescribable impression [on people]. We need to know each other
closely and develop the cultural relations of our two nations which
stand close to each other with their system of values. I also hope
that the First Lady of Armenia, Mrs Rita Sargsyan, will visit Slovenia,
and that we will together attend the closing ceremony of the Armenian
Year [in Slovenia]," Barbara Miklic Turk was reported as saying.
