Vazrik Bazil: Armenia misrepresents itself at international exhibitsSeptember 15, 2011 - 18:05 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Armenia misrepresents itself at international exhibitions, Doctor of Philosophy Vazrik Bazil believes. At news conference in Yerevan, the expert noted that Armenia’s exhibition halls are designed rather casually; yet, to impress foreign visitors, the country must attempt to stress its difference from other states in the region. “Unfortunately, Armenia keeps failing at that. For example, Armenian folk dances are in no way different from Georgian ones,” he noted. “However, Armenia could present its heritage in an original manner to stress the difference. Armenians are too obsessed with the past. I don’t mean that the past must be renounced, yet one may try to merge the past and the present in one idea,” he said.
