YEREVAN, 14 APRIL, ARMENPRESS. The results of Kim Kardashian’s and her family’s visit to Armenia will be seen in the years to come. This is whatHead of the Department of Tourism at the Ministry of Economy of the Republic of Armenia Mekhak Apresyansaid in an interview with “Armenpress”.“I highly appreciate Kim Kardashian’s and her family’s visit to Armenia. With her visit, Kim Kardashian stressed the fact that she stands by the Armenians. Through her Armenia also had a chance to present Armenia’s offers for tourism to millions of people. This will help Armenia record a certain high number of visits this year, but there will be more visits in the years to come,”the official said.
Touching upon the Holy Mass served at the Vatican and the Pope’s announcement about the Armenian Genocide, Mekhak Apresyan mentioned that it was of universal significance, but shouldn’t be directly linked to the impact on tourism.“One of the key objectives of Armenia’s state policy is to make Armenia more and more recognized in the global market. We have to present ourselves not as a nation that experienced genocide or a nation that has experienced other tragedies, but as a nation that has been reborn, as an attractive and favorable country for tourism, business and investments. That’s why we have to set aside the Pope’s announcement which, however, was very important for us and all mankind,”Mekhak Apresyan mentioned.
