On November 8, 2019 members of the “Socio-psychological Assistance to Syrian Refugees”  project of Aleppo Compatriotic Charitable Organization (“ALEPPO” NGO) visited Zoravor Surb Astvatsatsin Church, listened to gospels performed by the “Unit of Hope” of the council of women, which was followed by reception. 

After gospels the participants of the program headed to Hovh. Tumanyan Museum to attend the presentation of the “Hovhannes Tumanyan. Kid Creations. By  Western Armenian Paraphrase of Levon Shant” book dedicated to the 150^th anniversaries of Hovh. Tumanyan and Levon Shant.
