YEREVAN, JUNE 26, ARMENPRESS: Besides embassies, consulates, international institutions, cultural companies, social organizations also have great importance in the process of organizing the life of Armenian Diaspora. In the framework of Austrian President’s visit to Armenia about bilateral cultural ties Armenpress had an interview with President of Armenian-Austrian cultural company, member of Austrian branch of “Armenian all-Armenian fund Razmik Tamrazyan.
- Mr. Tamrazyan how do you estimate the level of cultural relations between Armenia and Austria?
- The level of present Armenian-Austrian cultural relations and cooperation is more due to the efforts of private organizations than inter-state activities but it will not be right to totally exclude inter-state participation in this issue.
- What expectations do you have from Austrian President Heinz Fischer’s visit to Armenia?
- Surely Armenians in Austria have expectations and hopes that during the visit besides the signing of treaty on economic cooperation there will be arrangements on wide cultural cooperation.
- What plans are you going to implement in future?
- Organizing manuals towards the 100th anniversary of Armenian genocide, taking the advantage of the visit of Austrian President to Armenian recognition of Armenian Genocide by Austria.
