Meanwhile our festival has already had a comprehensive meaning in its name. Within the framework of the “Armenia” International Festival world known musicians perform, only high level classical music is presented. We are very glad to be part of the International festivals like “Armenia”, Khachaturian festival. The Khachaturian International Festival has already gained international recognition and respect. I wish a good start and green path also to the 1st “Armenia” International Festival and Competition. Another project will be completed in just a few days. And the most delightful thing is that it’s real to organize such a high level project in our small country which is relevant to international standards and could create an interest among the connoisseurs of the classical music within a short period of time”.
