The memorandum of cooperation was signed on  February 25 by the heads of the Unions of the two states - Vladimir  Mashkov and Hakob Kazanchyan, the Union of Theatre Workers of the  Russian Federation reports.

As noted in the report, in accordance with the memorandum, the Unions  agreed to make every effort to develop cooperation. Among the main  areas of interaction, the parties identified the exchange of  experience, the organization of joint events, conferences, seminars,  exhibitions, forums, festivals and master classes, the creation of  joint creative projects, support for the professional growth of  members of both organizations, as well as assistance in promoting  projects created by the theatrical communities of Armenia and Russia.  The signing of the memorandum should contribute to the further  development of theatrical art in both countries.

During the signing of the document, addressing his colleague,  Vladimir Mashkov said: "I am very glad that you came forward with a  proposal to sign an agreement between the Russian and Armenian STDs.  I understand that this union has never broken up. This is a great  continuation of our close connection, absolutely inseparable."

The Chairman of the Armenian STD, in turn, noted that "this is a fair  continuation of what was laid down by our outstanding predecessors -  actors of both Russia and Armenia, of whom we were proud and who were  an example for us."

"In Armenia, all professionals believe that the Russian theater  school is the greatest in the world. I think that we are a happy  generation because we have seen the friendship of Russian and  Armenian theater figures. I remember how Kaplanyan was friends with  Tsarev, how many times Lavrov and Efremov came to Yerevan. And now,  in our difficult but interesting days, I am very glad that we will be  closer friends with the Russian Union, create joint projects and  visit each other," said Hakob Kazanchyan.
