Famous Russian culturologist, academician Alexey Lidov visited Artsakh
recently. He arrived in Yerevan to participate in the international
conference and from there on he came to Artsakh.
His visit did not carry an official character. He is a specialist of
mural art and he is mostly interested in the wall-paintings of Dadivank
monastic complex in Artsakh. Here he was accompanied by archeologist
Gagik Sargsyan who knows this place very well and Igor, employee of
the Department of the NKR Environment and Natural Resources.
"I intended to visit Artsakh 24 years ago and ever since have not
managed to do this in any way. The earthquake of 1988, the change of
power in the country, the war ... In short I could hardly find suitable
time for my arrival. I decided to come to Artsakh from Yerevan alone,
it would have been a pity to miss such an opportunity," Lidov says.
Alexey Lidov studies medieval cultural monuments. "I study all the
cultural monuments of the Christian world. I visited any Christian
country".
He considers Akhtala the most important Armenian monastery from the
point of view of mural art while Gandzasar is the mightiest one of
the 13th century.
His first book is about the wall-paintings of Akhtala.
"Gandzasar is mightier than Dadivank especially from the point of
view of mural art," says Lidov who visited Gandzasar the other day.
He took photos of Dadivank to use them later in his scientific works.
"One visit is not enough for writing a book but I will use these
facts and photos for a scientific article".
Archeologist Gagik Sargsyan acted as a guide. On the way we stopped
near the cemetery and commemorative cross stones of Qolatak village,
Martakert region.
Lidov was so much fascinated with the cross stones that Gagik Sargsyan
had to hurry him up saying, "You will never reach home if you try to
see everything in Karabakh".
