The film "Ani" prepared by the Research on Armenian Architecture NGO
premiered last night.
Between 1918 and 1920 Ani, the capital of the Bagratuni Kingdom,
was part of the Republic of Armenia. In October 1920 Ani together
with the whole Province of Kars was re-invaded by Turkey. In 1921
the signing of the Treaty of Kars signed between Bolshevik Russia
and Kemalist Turkey formalized the incorporation of the Kars Province
into the Republic of Turkey.
This put an end to the archeological research conducted in Ani. The
excavations were resumed only in late 1990s without the participation
of Armenian specialists. It's clear, however, that these works are
conducted with the violation of the scientific norms of restoration
of monuments and with obvious aspirations for appropriation.
The film "Ani" tells about the historic monuments of the capital city
of the Bagratuni Kingdom.
