"Western Armenia in Photos: 1860 - 1914" exhibit to open in Yerevan April 21
On April 21, the Armenian National Architecture Museum will host "Western Armenia in Photos: 1860 - 1914" exhibition.
As a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter came to know from the Shushi Foundation, the purpose of the exhibition is creation of a new approach to the Armenian Genocide issue.
Bakur Karapetyan, chairman of the Shushi Foundation, said that over 7 thousand photos telling us about everyday life of the people inhabiting Western Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh were collected. "220 photos will be displayed. We want to show how our ancestors lived in our homeland. The whole world knows about the Armenian Genocide and our goal is to show not only the cultural monuments but also the people who lived there. Organization of our exhibition abroad is also very important. The Congressmen will know that they take the right decision if they see these photographs," Mr Karapetyan said.
He also informed that the Shushi Foundation will arrange a photo exhibition dedicated to the 90th anniversary of the Sardarapat battle celebrated on May 28.
