    Azerbaijan tried to impede symposium of sculpture in Shushi

    July 30, 2011 - 17:14 AMT


    PanARMENIAN.Net - Azerbaijan tried to impede the work of Hakob
    Gyurjyan first international symposium of sculpture in Shushi, which
    Italian specialists were engaged in.

    As Narekatsi Union of Arts reports, Italian sculptors received letters
    with threats saying Azerbaijan did not give them rights to encroach on
    the territory of NKR.

    `The letter sent from the Azerbaijani Embassy in Italy says that if I
    arrive in Artsakh an action will be commenced,' photographer Lapo Cali
    said.

    Hakob Gyurjyan first international symposium of sculpture took place
    in Shushi from July 17-28.

    15 Italian sculptures created compositions from limestone, to be
    located in different corners of the city.

    The compositions will boost development of sculpture and capital
    building of Shushi and will return it bygone fame and status of
    cultural center, according to sculptor Vigen Avetis.

    `The idea of peace, freedom and struggle are dominating in the
    sculptures. From the first sight it is notable that these sculptures
    defer from Armenian sculptors' works by style and spirit, they are
    designed to change architectural environment of Shushi,' the sculptor
    said.

    Results of the symposium will be included into the catalogue in three
    languages: Armenian, Italian and English, the author of which is
    Professor Gerardo Lo Russo, Rector of Rome Academy of Arts. Studio
    Quagli Italian cinema studio will shoot a documentary film on cultural
    heritage of Artsakh and Shushi to be screened over Rai 1.
