Crimea and Armenia found joint traces on the Great Silk Road
The tourism business of Armenia proposed creating a single route along the “Silk Road” with Crimea.
Deputy Prime Minister of the Government of Crimea Irina Kiviko announced this in Yerevan, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“An interesting proposal came from Armenian business to create a joint Great Silk Road route, because Crimea was also part of this route, and some objects have been preserved,” she noted. “In the cultural and educational part, Armenia and Crimea are connected by a lot, for example, the Surb-Khach monastery or the Armenian monuments and churches of Feodosia.”
Within the framework of the “Days of Crimea in Armenia”, five cooperation agreements were signed between travel agencies of the two republics. Among the signatories are the Crimean Winepark on the territory of the Mriya Hotel and the largest tour operator in Armenia Belaviaservice.
The Crimean delegation included First Deputy Minister of Economic Development of Crimea Anushavan Aghajanyan, Chairman of the National-Cultural Autonomy of Crimean Armenians Georgy Akopyan, and Deputy of the State Council of the Republic Armen Martoyan. Today, representatives of Crimea honored the memory of the victims of the genocide of the Armenian people on the territory of the Ottoman Empire in 1915. In Crimea, since 2005, mourning events have been held at the official level thanks to the resolution adopted by the parliament of the republic “On the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of the Tragedy of the Armenian People.”
