YEREVAN, JUNE 24, ARMENPRESS: "The art of Khachkars" exhibition will
be summarized at the UNESCO headquarter of Paris. The next outburst of
the Azerbaijani and Turkish aggression was recorded at the exhibition.
Arthur Poghosyan, the RA deputy culture minister, reported Armenpress
that the conflict situation at UNESCO once again made the international
community to focus on the Armenian khachkars and intangible cultural
heritage values. He says once again the international community was
informed about the vandalism, committed by the Turkish and Azerbaijani
sides. According to him, the created conflict situation worked for
the benefit of the Armenian side.
The deputy minister said during all the international events the
Armenian side faces the Azerbaijani and Turkish sides' aggression.
"However this will not frighten us: we will move forward more
dynamically," he stated.
During "The art of Khachkars - Armenian cross-stones" exhibition,
held June 15 at UNSECO Paris Office, the notes on the origin of
the Armenian khachkars were not available. Only the date of the
khachkars was written under the photos. The reason was that some
of the khachkars are located in the territory of not only Armenia,
but also neighbor countries - Turkey and Azerbaijan.
