SHUSHI IS WAITING...
Representatives of Armenian intelligentsia with roots in Shushi and participants of Shushi liberation gathered recently at Aram Khachatrian Home Museum to take part in opening of an exhibition titled "Pride, Sorrow, Hope Originating From Shushi History". Paintings and photos of 19th and early 20th centuries represented Shushi's beauty, town's unique coloring and its people. The organizer of the exhibition, "Zard" Cultural Union, borrowed the photos from diverse albums and personal collections. Aram Khachatrian's music accompanying the display made it more interesting. Members of "Zard" Union and co-chair of "Shushi" Fund writer Bakur Karapetian told about the town-fortress of Shushi. Mr. Karapetian shared as well with the projects of studying Shushi's cultural legacy. Specialists have already completed registering, gauging and computer imaging of 525 monuments of Shushi and surrounding territories. At the same time, specialists are collecting archive documents dealing with Shushi. The Fund is going to hold an international contest for layouts of the town's two zones.
