“Erebuni-Yerevan” festive events, dedicated to the 2800th anniversary of Yerevan’s foundation, will take place one month later from its official date. The celebrations will be held on October 20 and 21 instead of September 29 and 30. The respective decision was approved during today’s Cabinet session. The project was presented by Minister of Territorial Administration and Development Suren Papikyan.

The reason for this decision was the snap elections of Yerevan Council of Elders on September 23, and also the upcoming events on the occasion of the 17th La Francophonie summit on October 7-12. That is why it was decided to celebrate the day of Yerevan not before the summit, but after.
