"I drew similar graffiti for similar purposes in different places - Yerevan, Kapan, Tbilisi," he said. "Mkhitaryan's portrait is created in a place where a group of socially vulnerable children spend a lot of time. I believe that such children, and all the kids in general, need strong motivation to believe in their dreams. And Mkhitaryan sets an excellent example for them."
