Affairs of Armenia and the CE Information Office European Legacy Days
opened in the museum reserve of Zvartnots temple in Yerevan.
"The slogan of the event, devoted to medieval art, music and
architecture, is "Insight into Middle Ages."
Within the campaign visits to museums will be free of charge," noted
Deputy Minister of Culture and Youth Gagik Gyurjyan.
Special Representative of the CE Secretary General in Armenia Boyan
Urumova noted that the Days aim at stimulating participation of the
society, especially the youth, in realizing their own legacy. "The
initiative also stimulates cultural dialogue. 20 million people took
part in the European Legacy Days in 49 countries since past year. 33
monuments opened.
The spirit of Europe and Armenia, as a European country, is expressed
in their mental legacy and it should be preserved," she underscored.
European Legacy Days will be held in Armenia September 10-11. Outlook
from the Middle Ages exhibition will open at the State Historical
Museum of Armenia, as well as exposition of medieval frescos at the
National Picture Gallery. Medieval manuscripts will be exhibited

destruction of ancient Armenian khachkars in Nakhichevan by Azerbaijan
