iYEREVAN. – On February 11, which marks the death day of the great Russian writer and diplomat Alexander Sergeyevich Griboyedov, the activists of the Russian-Armenian Youth Unity NGO laid flowers at his memorial.  

Annual flower-laying and holding of round-table meetings and events commemorating A.S. Griboyedov have already become traditional for the organization.

“We remember and honor the memory of great people, who made their strong contribution to the history of our countries. A.S. Griboyedov was one of the respected diplomats of Armenia. Caring for the Armenians was the most important constituent part of his diplomatic activity. He was one of the authors of the Treaty of Turkmenchay, and upon his insistence the document came to include a special point, pursuant to which Armenians were allowed to leave Persia and return to their historical homeland,” Deputy Chairman of the organization, Sergey Vardazaryan, said in his speech.

The representatives of the Russian-Armenian Youth Unity NGO, for their part, noted that we can build great future only by remembering and respecting the past, as well as the historical heritage of our peoples.
