РусскийA “mosaic” of the life of the Kazakh-Armenian community (photos)
These days the Armenian community of Kazakhstan is actively participating in community events, and this is mainly due to the focus of RA Ambassador to Kazakhstan Ara Sahakyan on issues concerning the community, the pro-Armenian activities of Armenian school and cultural associations, particularly the Armenian Youth Foundation of Kazakhstan, as well as the Kazakh-Armenians’ drive to carry out pro-national activities aimed at preserving the Armenian identity away from the Homeland. More and more events are held every day.
