I am too very proud and thankful to be here, in Armenia. When a country has such long-established traditions and amazing geography it means that the Armenians have a very tolerant, generous, and rich nature.

While casting a look on 2010 with the lenses of tourism, probably two events may be considered remarkably outstanding: the launch of the world longest aerial tramway near Tatev Monastery and the discovery of the world oldest shoe in the Areni-1 cave. The impact of the first is expected to be witnessed in the nearest future, while the treasures of Areni-1 cave will have their say in slightly longer run.
