YEREVAN.- Armenian Minister of Sport and Youth Affairs Arthur Petrosyan always spends the holidays with his family.

Talking to Armenian News-NEWS.am, the Minister said he used to stay at home for New Year’s eve but his relatives prefer going to the country.

“We have been celebrating the holidays in Tsakhkadzor [mountain resort in Armenia] for three years and also receiving guests there,” he said.

The Minister said his children are decorating the Christmas tree and he used to do it when they were small.

“The most valuable present for me was a card drawn by my daughter and son. I still have this card. The most desirable present is something you are giving from your heart,” he said.

Petrosyan also said  he used to dress as a Santa Claus to bring presents for his children when they lived in Bulgaria.

He wished Armenian people peace adding that all should accept someone’s luck like their own.
