than 4 dozens of photos are presented in the exhibition. They picture
historic-cultural monuments, nature, etc. of Armenia and Nagorno
Karabakh.
Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian mentioned that this exhibition will be
organized in a number of countries of the world as well. In his words,
owing to these photos, foreigners will get acquainted with Armenia. "We
see beauty of the Armenian nature with the help of these photos. And
it is not accidental that annual calendars of the Foreign Ministry
are decorated with H.Hawk’s photographers," V.Oskanian mentioned.
In H.Hawk’s words, there are such places in Armenia about which even
residents of Armenia do not know, and many of them do not believe that
it is our Fatherland. The photographer mentioned that he attepmts
to present not only Armenia but also people living in Armenia to
the world.
To recap, few months ago H.Hawk published his "Land" and "Hovering
Hawk" albums. The photographer envisages to publish in a separate
album photos of Armenian churches built in different countries as
well as an album dedicated to Artsakh.
