Glendale Mayor Ara Najarian said with the opening of a branch of Glendale Memorial Hospital in Armenia, the Armenian community of Glendale intends to boost ties with the motherland.

Najarian told a press conference in Yerevan that he promised Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan during his previous visit to the country that the relations between the parties will reach a new level.

Since Kapan and Glendale are twinned cities, a hospital will be renovated in Kapan, said Najarian.

“Besides, Armenian filmmaker Gor Kirakosian, who resides in Glendale, is going to create a film in Armenia,” he noted.

According to Najarian, Kirakosian could shoot his film anywhere, but has chosen Armenia.

Najarian stressed that well-known American actors will arrive in Armenia to star in the film. He added that the film crew arrived in Armenia a month ago.
