“Having direct relation to Argentina, we support various, also cultural, initiatives aimed at development of bilateral affairs, the main purpose of which is to popularize the Argentine culture. This year, hundreds of people not only in Yerevan, but also in Gyumri and Ijevan, will have the opportunity to watch Argentine tango and take part in master classes within the framework of the Tango Week,” said Juliana Del Aguila-Eurnekian, a representative of the Eurnekian family in Armenia.
