According to a decision of the government, redistribution was made in the state budget in order to earmark funding to the Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports of Armenia.
Accordingly, the allocated sum of 1,393,405,800 drams (approx. US$3.5 million) will be directed to the holding of events on the 100th birth anniversaries of famous Armenian filmmaker Sergei Parajanov and renowned French Armenian musician Charles Aznavour.
