President Sarkissian visited a tropical garden in Aygedzor: this garden is a piece of art

In the Aygedzor border community, President Armen Sarkissian visited a tropical garden created by Melis Babayan.

The 78-year old agrarian established a garden with unique tropic plants and trees. Side by side with apple and plum trees he grows kiwi, banana, and palm trees.

The President toured the garden, conversed with the dedicated gardener, inquired about the produce sales and wished him every success. “We met with Melis Babayan, who after spending part of his life away from his birthplace, came back and purchased a garden. This garden is a piece of art, it has our traditional trees, fruits, and vegetables,” President Sarkissian said in the conversation with the journalists and viewed as commendable that the gardener was trying to plant next to them, for instance, palm trees. “It carries a meaning,” the President said, “because reaching for impossible, one often gets unconventional results.”
