Dr Sahasrabuddhe was pleased to know that an Indian Cultural Center Armenia has also been opened in Armenia through our efforts and was briefed about the future plans of expanding its operations and activities.

The meeting came at an important time when Armenia was going through a difficult phase due to the highly militarized conflict with Azerbaijan in Artsakh (Nagorno Kharabagah). The IAF President briefed Dr Sahasrabuddhe on the various steps taken by our organization in helping the affected families especially children through our cultural activities. The ICCR President, on his end, expressed his genuine concern for peace in Armenia and send his well-wishes to the affected families.
