YEREVAN. – Staff of the President of Armenia plans to hold various cultural events at the official presidential residence, Armenian News-NEWS.am has learned from the presidential news service.

Also, according to monitoring conducted—and despite the open gates and free access—the number of those visiting the area adjacent to the presidential residence is very small on working days and hours.

Accordingly, on work days and Saturdays, the gates of the official presidential residence will be open before the public from 6pm to 8pm, and on Sundays—from 12pm to 8pm.

Also, on Saturdays and Sundays, the change in the turn of duty of the honor guards of the presidential residence will be accompanied by a solemn ceremony which everyone can follow. On Saturdays, these changes in the turn of duty will be conducted at 6pm, 7pm and 8pm, and on Sundays—at 12pm, 1pm and 2pm.
