    FRESCOES BY MINAS AVETISYAN IN THE HOUSE OF GOVERNMENT

    Gov.am - Office of the Prime Minister of Armenia
    Nov 25 2010

    Minas Avetisyan's "Meeting" and "By the stele" frescoes were reopened
    today in the second-floor conference hall of the House of Government.

    In accordance with the government decree of June 17, 2010, in
    cooperation with the Ministry of Culture, Minas Avetisyan Foundation
    has launched a restoration campaign for these two frescoes which
    used to be posted in the restaurant block of Gyumri's electrical
    engineering plant.

    During the ceremony, the reinstated frescoes were blessed by Vicar
    of the Ararat Patriarchal Diocese, Archbishop Navasard Kchoyan.

    Congratulating those present, Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan thanked
    the Armenian and Italian experts who had completed the restoration
    work, as well as the staff of the Ministry of Emergency Situations
    for evacuation and relocation efforts.

    The Prime Minister said in particular: "I think this is just the
    case when history has had its own. As Minas used to give birth to
    his paintings in a plain dining unit of an ordinary plant in Gyumri,
    no one could suppose that a few years later these works of art might
    be held for masterpieces to find themselves in the House of Government.

    History is the judge of the works of Minas, and today we can enjoy
    them in full."

    The government's conference hall will shortly be open for the great
    Armenian painter's fans.
