According to the Saadi Foundation’s Public Relations Office, Ms. Makunyan, Principal of Public School No. 34, expressed her appreciation to the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran for its support in renovating and equipping the Persian language classroom. She emphasized that this support has played a key role in encouraging and motivating students to learn the Persian language.

Highlighting the significance of Iran-Armenia relations, Ms. Makunyan stated:
