A1+ Vikings’ descendants backup Armenians (video) 13:56 | October 20,2017 | Social Հայ Рус http://en.a1plus.am/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/fryhPqXMBWc.jpg Norwegians are building a ship of exactly the same size (20 meters) as the Armenian Cilicia. The building technology is a bit different. Norwegian ship will be lighter than the Armenian one. Clastat will appear in the open see in September, 2018. “I have studied the project very carefully: our trip, every detail about which we did not even think. They have advantages over us. We cannot conduct archaeological expeditions in Cilicia; our ship is rebuilt due to the manuscripts,” said Karen Balayan, Captain of Cilicia The descendants of the Vikings are going to repeat the Armenians’ work and navigate with Clastat through the waters in Europe, including Scandinavian countries. “Eight captains will be changed in three years. I am invited to be the captain of the ship for a stage. Norwegians are people of the sea and when they invite a captain from the mountainous country, then it is a sign of their respect,” said the Armenian capitan modestly. Karen Balayan has no doubt that his and Norwegians’ trip will be successful, as they are professional and responsible people. He received the offer in September at an international conference of captains held in Tonsbers, Norway. The conference was attended by Ghuka Chabashi, Istanbul University professor, whose team of archaeologists is now excavating vessels found in the port of Theodosius. The Turks recovered one of the ships, having the shovels as Cilicia. Karen Balayan remembered that during Cilicia’s voyage the shovels broke; he warned his Turkish college about that. “I said that storms are even more dangerous in small seas, and that they should be careful. I explained him that the construction of the shovels should be changed. The Turkish Professor said that he would take it into consideration and change it.” Though repaired, it stands on the shore of Lake Sevan. Karen Balayan said instead of the ship Cilicia“It is expensive to sail, the staff of Cilicia big, and sailing with them is also connected with the finances. Calling the 100 tone crane is expensive, as well; so we decided not to spend money.” They also thought about bringing Cilicia to Sevan in the tourist season. However, the 2-month-long season will not provide with enough income to cover costs, especially with revenue. They are ready to start cooperate with investors. http://en.a1plus.am/1265394.html
