MosJan Posted September 27, 2001 Report Share Posted September 27, 2001 FIRST ARMENIAN-RUSSIAN JOINT STAMP ISSUEDThe presentation of the first Armenian –Russian joint post stamp was held in Yerevan yesterday, September 26. On the Armenian variant of the stamp Hovhannes Lazarian’s (founder of Moscow’s Lazarian Armenian seminary) portrait is pictured, on the back side of which the same picture is imaged with Russian inscription ‘Ivan Lazarev’. The executive director of ‘Namakanish’ (Stamp) company, painter Haroutiun Samuelian said that intentions to create such a stamp emerged already last year. He also said that after discussions the Armenian design version of the stamp was accepted, the author of which is designer Albert Kechian. The Armenian version of the stamp is issued in Holland, and the Russian version- in Russia. According to Samuelian, in connection with 1700-th anniversary of Christianity adoption in Armenia annually 5 new stamps are being issued- starting 1994. © Copyright AZG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
