THE MOST CONCERNED COUNTRY IS IRAN

Iran has the most concerned attitude towards the Armenian monuments among our neighbors. In comparison with other countries Iran not only preserves Armenian churches but also repairs them. On the eve of the Armenian Genocide anniversary “Nikol Aghbalyan” Students’ Union organized an exhibition titled “Cultural Genocide” in the Yerevan State University in which the photos of about 60 Armenian monuments in Azerbaijan, Turkey, Georgia and Iran were presented in their former and current shape. The photos were taken and given by the Yerevan Office of the organization observing Armenian architecture.
“This exhibition reveals the attitude of our neighbour countries towards our historical - cultural values and towards Armenia as well. It is aimed at acknowledging Armenian youth with the cultural values and achievements which are not in Armenia but belong to our civilization,” says the member of “Nikol Aghbalyan” Students’ Union, the chairman of the History Faculty students’ council Vahe Sargsyan.
The Union organized such an exhibition last year as well but only the monuments of Western Armenia were presented then. The organizers are not surprised by the fact that Armenian monuments are ruined in Turkey and Azerbaijan on the governmental level, but they are sorry that our Christian neighbour Georgia behaves in the same way.
“This is not an attitude expected from a fried country. I am the first advocate of the Armenian – Georgian friendship but I cannot forgive such vandalism. This is an attempt to create hostility between the two countries. None of us can benefit from it. But we can solve the matter to certain extent with the help of scientists and clergymen,” claims Vahe Sargsyan.
The exhibition will be opened today and tomorrow. The Union plans to open such exhibitions in other educational establishments as well. They are also going to release a joint letter appeal to the Embassies and other international institutions registered in our country on this issue.
