Bulgarian Ambassador to Armenia Todor Staykov handed the copies of a large number of documents related to the life and activities of Armenia's national heroes - Andranik Ozanyan and Garegin Nzhdeh - kept in Bulgaria's Veliko-Turnovo military and historical archive to Armenian history museum and national archive.

"Such documents are the memory of the nation and we conveyed their copies in compliance with the law. I would also like to thank the Armenian Ministry of Culture for assistance," Ambassador Staykov said.

For his part, Armenia's Ambassador to Bulgaria Sergei Manaseryan thanked the Bulgarian side for the research carried out. "2010 will be announced the Year of Armenia and Bulgaria. We are planning to exhibit Matenadaran documents referring to Protobulgarians," he said.

Upon completion of the ceremony, national archive director Amatuni Virabyan said that the Armenian side is also interested in obtaining documents on World War I and Armenian Genocide kept in Bulgarian archives.
