The meeting with the three young Armenian artists began with a visit to St. Etchmiadzin Church in Avlabari, where the honorable priests and deacons warmly welcomed the talented performers. Rev. Father. Samvel Torosyan conveyed the paternal blessings and heartfelt wishes of His Grace Bishop Kirakos Davtyan, Primate of the Armenian Diocese in Georgia, blessed the children, and presented them with souvenir gifts.
