Stage director and People's Artist of Armenia Armen Khandikyan, opera singer Barsegh Tumanyan, sculptor and painter Levon Tokmajyan, as well as poet and Doctor Professor Henrik Edoyan were awarded the title of honorary citizen of Yerevan on the occasion of the 2806th anniversary of the Armenian capital city.

But before that, there were suggestions that the decision to award the aforesaid honorary title should be made ahead of the event on Yerevan's 2806th anniversary, so that the aforesaid recipients would be ceremoniously awarded this title during that event.
