A three-day conference on "Ani - medieval Armenia's Political and
Civilization Center" kicked off at the Armenian National Academy of
Sciences November 15 and is dedicated to the 1050th anniversary of
the proclamation of Ani as the capital of Bagratuni Kingdom.
The conference brought together scholars from Armenia, Russia, France,
Germany, Italy, the United States and Austria.
A website in three languages dedicated to the 1050th anniversary of
Ani has been launched (www.ani1050.sci.am) which provides information
about the city and depicts the photos of Ani.
In the opening speech chairman of the RA NAS Radik Martirosyan
expressed hope that the Armenian people will have more opportunities
to visit Ani.
"This conference is another step toward studying the rich
historic-cultural heritage of Ani, making it reach the world public,"
Martirosyan said.
Once called the "City of 1001 Churches", and stood on various
trade routes Ani now is a ruined and uninhabited site situated
in modern-day Turkey's province of Kars, near the border with the
Republic of Armenia.
