10:13, 20 March, 2015
YEREVAN, 20 MARCH, ARMENPRESS. Photographer Nazik Armenakyan will
present a book-album of photos of survivors of the Armenian Genocide.
It took years of hard work for the photographer to compile the personal
stories of 45 Armenian Genocide survivors living in different parts
of Armenia and record the horror in their eyes with her camera.
The 130-40 page book will be released in Armenian and English. It
will be illustrated and will include a photo of a survivor next to
each story. The preface of the book will be by Mark Nshanyan, and
the editor of the photos will be film critic Vigen Galstyan.
"I visited survivors living in different regions. I would go to
the villages, and it would happen that I would visit seven villages
and nobody would be there. I would cry on the way back. Words can't
describe how much pain I felt whenever I lost track of a survivor. I
would get sad not because I was losing another person to take a photo
of, but because I was losing a person who was close to my heart,"
the photographer said in an interview with "Armenpress".
