There are many quotes about culture and its role in a person’s life. All of them are true, be it about rope, cement, weapon of light or hope. Learning is action, I think. The mission of Move2Culture is to invite you to come, see, discover, touch and carry away. Experience, knowledge, impressions about the rich Armenian culture. Carry away with you. Within you.
Good luck!
