YEREVAN, March 6. / ARKA /. Armenian justice minister Hovhannes Manukyan traveled to Tbilisi, Georgia, to attend the presentation of an album called ‘Tbilisi-New Babylon,’ dedicated to Armenian artists of Georgia in the second half of the 20th century.

The aim of the project is the release of a 3-lingual album in Georgian, Armenian and English.
