The world famous violinist Ara Malikian is originally from Lebanon, but lives in Madrid and is the first violinist of the Royal Opera House. Malikian and his co-host Jesús Calleja came to Armenia within the framework of CuatroTV's Planeta Calleja travel show and shared the beauty of his historic homeland with the audience.

The musician shared his impressions of the shooting on his Instagram page. The violin solo on top of the mountain was one of the most striking episodes. Judging by the footage the crew also went to the temple of Garni, was delighted by the "Symphony of Stones".

"Don't forget to watch another edition of Planeta Calleja. Together with Jesús and his cool team we went to Armenia and discovered the homeland of my grandparents," Ara Malikian captioned his publication.


Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
