A photo exhibition dedicated to the state of Armenian historical and cultural monuments in Turkey and Nakhichevan opened in the Armenian Embassy in Washington on April 24. Several dozens of photos testify of consistent destruction of Armenian churches and other historical monuments. The exhibition organized by an organization studying the Armenian architecture functions under the slogan “cultural genocide” and draws the attention of the international community to the necessity of protection of Armenian cultural and historical monuments.
Opening the exhibition RA Ambassador to the U.S. Tatul Margaryan highly assessed the activities of the Armenian architects and noted that it’s very important today to preserve the tradition of the Armenian architecture for the coming generations and raise the issue of barbarian destruction of the Armenian khachkars in Nakhichevan. The exhibition will function 10 days. It has already been attended by hundreds of Americans including officials, reported the RA MFA press office.
