The museum house of Sergey Parajanov received an unexpected present from President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin. Parajanov's painting was sent from Moscow to the museum as a present on behalf of the President. Director of the museum Zaven Sargsian told an "Arminfo" journalist about it. In his words, the present is an oil-painting, in which an episode from urban life is depicted. In all probability it is a unique early work of the prominent film director.
