N. Aghabalian: Number of tourists to Artsakh considerably grew
Sunday,
July 28
The Nagorno Karabakh Republic is interesting not only for Armenians,
but also for foreign tourists whose number has considerably grown this
year, Minister of Culture and Youth Affairs of the Nagorno Karabakh
Republic Ms. Narine Aghabalian told the correspondent of Aysor.am.
`It is obvious from the example of the Shushi Visual Arts Museum. The
museum opened only a month ago, on May 9, but it has more than 100
visitors daily. Most of them are foreign travellers. This also shows
that the number of tourists is on the increase. All of them say that
Artsakh's attraction lies in its nature, clean air, fine cuisine, and
warmness of people,' she said.
In the words of N. Aghabalian, cultural life in NKR is active. She
stressed that all this contributes to dissemination of true
information about Artsakh. `Our words can be considered subjective,
whereas impressions of foreigners are impartial,' N. Aghabalian noted.
She informed us that an agreement was reached with theaters and music
groups of Armenia regarding their performances in Nagorno Karabakh,
but the problem of halls still remains unsolved.
According to N. Aghabalian, a number of musicians and singers from
Artsakh plan to give concerts in Denmark. Besides, Artsakh State
Chamber Choir `Mrakats' recently participated in the 4th International
Sacred Music Choir Festival & Competition `Laudate Dominum' in Vilnius
where it took the third prize in the general program and the first
prize in the obligatory program.
A concert of Russian bands and singers is scheduled to take place at
the stadium on September 6. Part of the event is funded by friends of
Artsakh.
Speaking about problems, Ms. Aghabalian mentioned financial issues,
lack of modern concert halls and musical instruments.
`There are many gifted children in Artsakh, but they need more
comfortable conditions for self-fulfillment. Of course, many want to
support them. A group of musicians from Finland visited Artsakh quite
recently. They initiated an action, thanks to which our performers
received musical instruments as presents,' the minister said.
She added that many famous musicians do not perform in Nagorno
Karabakh only because of the lack of halls and funds. As regards the
visit of Spanish operatic soprano Montserrat Caballe to Karabakh,
Narine Aghabalian noted that M. Caballe was impressed by Artsakh whose
residents have acquired a good friend.
