"Armenia" sailing vessel charms visitors of the Isle of San Lazzaro, Venice

YEREVAN, OCTOBER 23, ARMENPRESS. "Armenia" sailing vessel will continue staying in the Isle of San Lazzaro, Venice as an exhibit for upcoming months. Notwithstanding, it has already been one year since the sailing vessel stopped there, but the interest towards it does not stop growing. In a conversation with "Armenpress" the head of "Mesrop Mashtots" expedition Zori Balayan mentioned that there are still many visitors who desire to see the sailing vessel. Zori balayan said: "If the tourists come and see the sailing vessel, its round-the-world rout, they become surprised and interested in details".

The sailing vessel will remain in Venice before the construction of appropriate unit in Armenia, which will last about one year. Zori Balayan is thinking about another rout as well, but as a true captain he does not want to talk about it: it’s a bad omen.

On May 28, 2009 "Armenia" sailing vessel started from the port of Valencia in the Mediterranean Sea. On August 5, 2011 the sailing vessel again appeared in the waters of the Mediterranean Sea ending the first round-the-world navigation in the Armenian history.
