The Armenian khachkars (cross-stones) will be presented by Armenian
craftsman Varazdat Harutyunyan.
As Armen Danielyan, vice rector of Pedagogical University of Theatrical
Art after Nikol Galanteryan told a press conference on December 24,
Varazdat Harutyunyan is an author of more than 400 cross-stones,
traditional and innovative works.
"I am allowed to exhibit only 3 sketches and photographs in the
pavilion, so I am going to take a lot of works with me and change
exposed items every 2-3 days, Varazdat Harutyunyan said.
The sculptor promised to restore the best stone-crosses destroyed by
Azeris in Jugha. The remaining cross-stones are already on the verge
of extinction and it is unknown whether our children would see them,"
the sculptor said.
