YEREVAN, JANUARY 19, ARMENPRESS: Official opening and blessing
ceremony of Armenian cross stone (khachkar) took place in famous
southern Italian port Bari. The cross stone was made 11 years ago by
Doctor-Professor of Architecture Ashot Grigoryan. Opening of the
khachkar has been numerously postponed till now, when thanks to the
efforts of the municipality of Bari and efforts of Armenians living
there the cross stone has been installed in one of the main squares of
Bari.
As Armenpress was informed from the secretariat of Armenian pastoral
of Italy, it is interesting that the cross stone has been installed at
the same shore through which Armenians penetrated to Italy.
Everybody were surprised when representative of Armenian Embassy in
Italy was handed the document of the recognition of Armenian Genocide
by Bari Mayor, according to which Bari city is among those 70 Italian
cities recognizing Armenian Genocide.
