Historic Cultural Preservation civil initiative has released a
statement calling on Culture Minister Hasmik Poghosyan to return the
pieces of cultural monuments taken from country's regions to expose
them at an exhibition.
The activists say they will do everything possible to prevent the
conduction of the exhibition.
In the statement the members of the initiative claim that many
have forgotten about it but they still remember and will fight
for the suspension of the exhibition that violates the laws and is
anti-national.
The members of the initiative met with the organizers of the exhibition
and employees of the Culture Ministry as well as raised the issue in
the Public Council. "Unfortunately the latter has chosen the way of
'peaceful settlement of the conflict' which means calming down the
passions without the solution of the issue which is not expedient in
this case as the raised issue relates to the protection of cultural
values," the statement runs.
The initiative also cited a part of the Armenian law "About Historic
and Cultural Monuments" urging the ministry officials to first get
acquainted with it and not make funny statements.
They once again urged the minister to annul the conduction of the
exhibition and said they will do everything to prevent it and protect
the monuments.
