The closing ceremony of the 5^th stage of the “Ari Tun” Program was held at the “Ari Tun” Camp in Tsakhkadzor on August 1.

Head of the Department of All-Armenian Programs at the RA Ministry of Diaspora Armen Andreasyan greeted the young Diaspora Armenians gathered around the already traditional bonfire and particularly mentioned the following: “Dear youth, I’m certain that you were very excited to learn about Armenian history, culture and the native language during your stay in the Homeland. You can already speak in Armenian well and have made new friends. I believe you will return to your homes with great memories and impressions and will want to visit Armenia again.”

The spirit of the nation was in the air at the “Ari Tun” Camp until late at night as the children performed the songs, poems and dances that they had learned during the program.
