Great`s 2150th anniversary
Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan attended today the inauguration of an
exhibition in the National Picture Gallery of Armenia, entitled `One
work' and dedicated to the 2150th anniversary of Tigran the Great.
Actions on the Armenian monarch's 2150th anniversary are held under

of Defense Seiran Ohanyan, Primate of Ararat Patriarchal Diocese
Archbishop Navasard Kchoyan.
The head of government toured the stands getting acquainted with the
works of 84 authors: both picturesque and sculptural works, as well as
excavation findings brought in from Tigranakert of Artsakh. The best
exhibit will be awarded Vardges Surenyants-150 silver medal.
Following the ceremony of opening, Tigran Sargsyan told the
journalists: `Marking today the 2150th anniversary of Tigran the
Great, we seek to reassess the importance of his legacy for our people
and its history. Speaking about Tigran the Great, we mean the commonly
shared dream of the Armenian people, the idea of a mighty and powerful
homeland which is forever associated with the name of Tigran the
Great.'
Tigran Sargsyan went on to emphasize that the example set by Tigran
the Great used to inspire Armenians in their fight for reinstatement
of statehood. "It is such a great potential as has always inspired the
people of Armenia to regain sovereignty, and finally succeeded. In
general, while looking into Tigran the Great's history, we can see
hosts of episodes which seem to be actual today.'
The Prime Minister emphasized the fact that the site of Artsakh's
Tigranakert is excavated by Armenian experts.
