/PanARMENIAN.Net/ 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.
