YEREVAN, OCTOBER 24, ARMENIANS TODAY - NOYAN TAPAN. The Armenian
Canadian photographer Hrayr Baze Khacherian presented his photo
exhibition "Armenia Through the Eyes of Baze" to residents of Yerevan
on October 21. The photographer captures inimitably and spreads
Armenian cultural values such as monasteries, church complexes,
monuments and in general Armenian nature.
More than 60 photos taken during three helicopter flights feature
valuable monuments of Armenian culture, various monasteries, churches,
Lake Sevan, Mount Aragats, nice-looking sites of the country's nature,
as well as historic monuments in Iran and Turkey whose photos were
taken from border zones.
According to the author, he has taken these photos over the past
two years.
Prior to that he photographed numerous monuments and churches in
Western Armenia. He has released six photo albums.
"The primary goal of my photos is to familiarize the world with Armenia
through photos, to make our culture recognizable and disseminate it
throughout the world," he pointed out. In his words, taking photos from
a helicopter is a difficukt task not only in terms of photographing
but also obtaining a helicopter and getting permission to take photos
from it. The heads of the RA Ministry of Defence have assisted Hrayr
Baze in this issue both in the past and now.
