GYUMRI, JULY 20, ARMENPRESS. Gyumri Vice Mayor Davit Arushanyan and the Mayor of the Russian city of Tver Alexey Ogonkov signed a cooperation agreement on July 20.

Under the agreement, Gyumri and Tver became sister cities.

Arushanyan presented to Ogonkov Gyumri’s potential and resources in culture, sport, IT, tourism and light industry.

He said that the agreement is “the first step” in strengthening the friendly relations between Gyumri and Tver.

“Meetings and mutual-visits of delegations will be organized to coordinate partnership and exchange opinions on issues of mutual interest, consultations and negotiations will be held and if necessary working groups will be launched to cooperate in various areas,” Arushanyan said, adding that they agreed to contribute to creating business ties between the two cities.

Mayor Ogonkov noted that the Armenian community has its contribution in the development of a number of areas in Tver, in person of the locals of Gyumri living in Tver.

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
