“I would like to cordially express my gratitude to the RA Ministry of Diaspora for the diplomas and medal granted to the members of Komitas Choir and to you for your great efforts, without which it would be difficult to do this much in such a short amount of time.

I would also like to transmit the gratitude and greetings of Prelate of the Armenian Diocese of Germany, Archbishop Karekin Bekjian to the minister.

With warm greeting sand blessings,
