A presentation ceremony was held in the Sredec Gallery of the Bulgarian
Ministry of Culture for the April issue of the journal Europe 2001,
which is dedicated to Armenia and was published in Bulgaria through
the initiative of the Embassy of Armenia in Sofia, as part of the
festival entitled The Year of Armenian Culture in Bulgaria.

As reported by the press service of the Bulgarian Ministry of Foreign
Affairs, the presentation ceremony included speeches by Sergey
Manasaryan, the Ambassador of Armenia to Bulgaria, Todor Zobanov,
the Bulgarian Deputy Minister of Culture and Mrs. Gencheva, the
Editor-in-Chief of Europe 2001.

Ambassador Manasaryan expressed his thanks to all the organizations,
state structures and individuals, whose support and direct involvement
made the publication of this issue – the first in the Bulgarian
language to be completely dedicated to Armenia – possible. Readers
can now learn about the historic past of the Armenian people, their
cultural heritage and religious traditions as well as the prominent
policies and issues facing the independent Republic of Armenia.

In his speech, the Bulgarian Deputy Minister of Culture said that
the ties that bind Armenia and Bulgaria are as old as the two nations
themselves.
