    ArmInfo. A photo exhibition "The stopped instants of Armenia" of
    Ashot Poghosyan and Rouben Bagdishyan, participants in a number of
    international contests, was opened at the Yerevan State University on
    September 9. The exhibition organized with the support of the Students'
    Council of the Yerevan State University demonstrates the latest works
    of the photographers with the images of amusing instants from everyday
    life of various corners of Armenia and Karabakh.

    When opening the exposition, Ashot Poghosyan pointed out that
    popularization of Armenian culture all over the world should become
    a priority task for each Armenian being more or less related to arts.

    "It is wrongful that most of young Armenian photographers are looking
    for the ways of personal fulfillment by means of photographing naked
    or semi-naked girls at best",- said Poghosyan. He added that the
    exhibition will last till September 16; afterwards it will be held
    at other universities and rural culture houses.

    Rouben Bagdishyan said that he tries to present the well-known place
    of Armenia to the public in anew way. "Actually, trifles are of great
    significance in photo art. When photographing, I first and foremost try
    to show these trifles, which are very often hidden from inattentive
    looks",- he said. Both photographers thanked Rafael Hovhannisyan,
    member of the YSU Students' Council, for his personal contribution
    to holding of the exhibition.

    President of the All-Armenian International Youth Center Andranik
    Nikoghosyan came out with a statement: "Your initiative is a
    very successful attempt to popularize the wonders of our ancient
    Motherland. It is impossible to deny that alongside with the
    efforts aimed at creating a positive opinion about our country among
    foreigners, very often we ourselves have no idea of the treasures
    hidden behind the inaccessible peaks of our small country. Your photos
    demonstrate these treasures in the best way".

    Rouben Bagdishyan (1987) and Ashot Poghosyan (1989) have already
    become participants in authoritative international photo expositions,
    including World Press Photo and World Photo View. At the Ukrainian
    photo exposition "Ukraine through the easy of foreigners" in 2009
    Rouben Bagdishyan gained the first place.
