The cultural heritage of the Armenian people is an inseparable part of the world’s cultural heritage and Armenia’s business card to the world. The aim of the RA government policies regarding culture is not only the preservation of that cultural heritage, but also the creation, development, and celebration of new values. To make that process more public and transparent, the need has arisen to have a new internet website, which the Ministry of Culture has implemented. Our new website will inform you about the cultural policy pursued by the RA Ministry of Culture and about the development of projects within the policy. You will have an opportunity not only to participate in discussing strategically important documents, but also their implementation process. Through the website of the RA Ministry of Culture, not only the inhabitants of Armenia, but people around the world will gain insight into the centuries old culture, participate in the development of contemporary art as well as various cultural events and projects. The supervision of the website will be implemented by the Public Relations Department and is to be updated on daily basis.
The RA Ministry of Culture welcomes all visitors to the website and is ready and eager to discuss any remarks or suggestions.
