Armenia & Russian Agree on Cultural Cooperation
Published on Oct 14, 2012 by Delia Gavrilescu
Last Friday a program of cooperation between the ministries of culture
of Armenia and the Russian Federation was penned at Armenia's Ministry
of Culture in Yerevan. Armenia's Minister of Culture, Hasmik Poghosyan
(at left) and Russian Federation Minister Andrei Busygin appeared for
the press at the announcement.
According to the news, the eighteen articles of the cooperation set in
motion a collaborative effort between the two countries across cinema,
museum, library arts from between 2012 and 2015. Also last week,
Poghosyan met with Kuwaiti Ambassador to Armenia Bassam Mohammed Al
Qabandi to discuss cultural cooperation between the two nations.
As early as late last month, Poghosyan announced renovation projects
for some of Armenia's regional centers. Also, ancient stone pictures
in Armenia are to be listed in the UNESCO World Heritage list, news
last month reflecting an archaeological cooperation between Germany
and Armenia at Jermuk and Sisian. That project, led by Saxony-Anhalt
state Professor Harald Meller and Director of Archeology and
Ethnography Institute, illuminates what many believe is is the
Armenian `Stonehenge', a place of extraordinary interest.
Meller's work, including his study of the so called Nebra Sky Disc in
Saxony, is well known to be of paramount importance to the world of
archaeology and ethnology, not to mention Germany and Armenia culture.
As for the Armenia, Meller and other archaeologists have made breaking
discoveries there.
For visitors to Armenia, many of these wonderful cultural and
archaeological sites are in remote areas, for all intents and purposes
inaccessible to visitors. This is, in part, one of the big initiatives
of Poghosyan's minsitry, to promote and help facilitate the building
of roads and infrastructures to allow for tourism to Armenia.
