A three-day conference on "Ani as a political and civilization center
of medieval Armenia" kicked off at the Armenian National Academy
of Sciences today. The event dedicated to the 1050th anniversary
of proclamation of Ani as the capital of Bagratuni Kingdom 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). It provides information
about the city and depicts the photos of Ani.
Member of the National Academy of Sciences, historian Richard
Hovhannisian says that even today it's impossible to visit the historic
places without the feeling pain.
President of the Academy of Sciences Radik Martirosyan referred to
the geopolitical and historical importance of the capital, as well as
its cultural and religious role. He noted, however, "that the Turkish
authorities spare no effort to distort the historic facts and erase
the Armenian trace."
Australian scholar Jasmine Dum-Tragut, professor of the Salzburg
Institute of Eastern Christian Studies, has collected archive materials
about Ani of 18th and 19th centuries. The results of the study were
presented at today's conference.
