It turns out that thousands of Yerevan residents, from among participants in the Independence Day anniversary celebrations on September 21, had come to Gyumri for the first time. Eduard Aghajanyan, Chief of Staff of the Office of the Prime Minister of Armenia, noted about this in a Facebook post.

“Given that the reactions in connection with the event are primarily positive, it can be assumed that Gyumri will become one of the key destinations of domestic tourism,” he added.
