15:37 - 17.08.13
Armenia is now being robbed of its precious treasures of art and
culture, a criminologist has said, commenting on recent thefts of
valuable books and canvasses.
`That's a theft of a nationwide significance, with each side trying to
find excuses of its own,' Sergey Galoyan told reporters on Saturday,
promising to unveil individual names in the near future.
According to him, the recent theft of highly valuable books from two
libraries of Armenia was a crime in the strictest sense of the word.
`And who said what books had been taken? No one was informed of
anything,' he said.
Galoyan further noted that valuable canvasses by Alexander
Bazhbeuk-Melikyan, a Soviet Armenian artist and graphic designer ,
were also stolen recently. The criminologist promised to publicize
more details in this connection too.
