/PanARMENIAN.Net/ On the initiative of the YSU students’ council and the
youth wing of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun, a photo exhibition entitled Cultural
Genocide was opened. As member of the youth wing of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun
Tadevos Chartian said, cultural values of Western Armenia, which underwent
grave changes after numerous wars, are presented on the photos. The pictures
recount the destroyed temples, strongholds in the historical Armenian towns
of Van, Kars, Bagrevan and Mush. `Cultural Genocide is an extremely
dangerous phenomenon as it leads to the extinction of a whole history and
national culture. We, the young people of Armenia, should know and convey
the cultural values of the past from generation to generation’, Tadevos
Chartian noted. The photos have been presented by RAA, the organization for
studying the Armenian architecture. The exhibition will also be held in the
regions of Armenia and many of the Yerevan institutes of higher education.
