    Hagop Gyurjyan second international symposium on sculpture took place
    in the city of Shushi attended by 19 artists from Italy, Belarus,
    Belgium, Japan, Armenia and Karabakh is coming to an end. It started
    on July 13 and lasted 17 days, GeorgiaTimes reports.

    First International Symposium of Sculptors also was held in Shushi
    last year. It was timed to the 130th anniversary of the famous Armenian
    sculptor Hakob Gyurjyan, a native of the city of Shushi.

    According to its results 15 sculptures were given to the city.

    The organizers of this symposium are the Ministry of Culture,
    Ministry of Youth Affairs of Nagorno-Karabakh and the mayor of the
    city of Shushi.

    Vigen Avedis, president of the symposium and the author of the idea,
    said, "I would like to mention one important thing: in addition to
    sculptures, which get birth here, we are strengthening international
    relations between Karabakh and Italy. We have already agreed with Mayor
    of one of the oldest cities in Italy, Tuscany, the city of Lucca that
    Shushi and Lucca would become sister cities. They are very similar
    in appearance - both cities have a fortress. And Lucca has extensive
    experience in the restoration and this can be very useful for Shushi
    in the future."

    "All finished work will be left in Shushi, and I would like them to be
    in one place - for example, in the park. Because they were all born
    together, and they must also be put together. It will be a museum of
    sculpture, a kind of an open air museum. We must discuss it with the
    Mayor of Shushi, choose a location," Avedis said.
