    EXHIBITION OF ARMENIAN ARCHITECTURE IN SWEDEN

    The Union of Armenian Associations of Sweden, Armenian Church and other
    cultural organizations initiated an exhibition in the Swede city of
    Gotenberg on May 11-13 dedicated to the 90th anniversary of the Armenian
    Genocide. The exhibition titled "Armenian Architectural Legacy in South
    Caucasus" focused on Armenian architectural monuments in Turkey's territory
    that were objected to elimination in years following the 1915. The aim of
    this initiative is to show the true face of a country that bids for the
    European community. According to a press release issued on this occasion,
    the opening ceremony was honored by the presence of local Swede authorities,
    representatives of Catholic and Orthodox Churches. After the speech of
    Gevorg Artin and representative of Gotenberg's Armenian community Katherine
    Hakobian, the author of "The Year of Sword" Bertil Bengtsson said that
    pressure on Turkey should not be eased as long as it denies the Genocide.

    The exhibition that was backed by the Assembly of Europe's Armenians, the
    Center for Armenian Architecture Study and Bilda Swede education
    organization, was first staged at the European Parliament, Oslo (Norway),
    other Swede cities and is going to arrive in Latvian capital of Riga on last
    days of May.
