The president of Ayas nautical research club, captain of a famed Armenian vessel Cilicia, Karen Balayan spoke of plans to construct Noah’s Ark in Sochi, Russia.
The issue was discussed at a Petrozavodsk-hosted meeting with Polar Odysseus sea club president Victor Dmitriev.
Mr. Dmitriev hailed the idea as a potential international social and cultural project, expected to involve Mediterranean, Black Sea countries and Armenian Diaspora, among others.
“This might be a unique opportunity to launch a scientific experiment of reconstructing the most famous vessel in human history,” he said.
