    Armenia

    As the United Nations department of Public Information in Yerevan
    informs, students' arts exhibition dedicated to Time of Remembrance
    and Reconciliation for Those Who Lost Their Lives during the Second
    World War, organized jointly by the UN Office in Armenia and Yerevan
    State Academy of Arts was opened today.

    More than 100 works of art, including graphics, paintings, batiks,
    ceramics, gobelins and statues were displayed at the UN House and
    attracted attention of students, professors, international community,
    civil society groups, media and general public.

    Dafina Gercheva, UN Resident Coordinator said: "These talented and
    bright pieces of art highlight how young generation understands the
    essence of maintaining peace throughout the world and pays tribute
    to all those who lost their lives during that terrible war. We are
    pleased to host this exhibition and as always we are ready to provide
    more opportunities for youth."

    "The initiative of giving the young artists a chance to exhibit their
    works in the UN House is a great opportunity for them. It not only
    encourages but empowers them. Also in this way they can learn more
    about UN values", said the rector of the Yerevan State Academy of
    Arts Mr. Aram Isabekyan.

    This is already the second such exhibition and several others
    are planned for 2010. The series are within the framework of the
    "International Year of Youth: Dialogue and Mutual Understanding" and
    "International Year of Rapprochement of Cultures".

    This is a joint initiative of Ms. Dafina Gercheva, UN Resident
    Coordinator and Mr. Aram Isabekyan, Rector of the Yerevan State
    Academy of Arts aiming to promote UN values by helping young artists
    of Armenia. The project is also supported by the UN Department of
    Public Information in Yerevan.
