Minas Avetisyan’s frescoes are at stake

Minas Avetisyan Foundation Board Chairman Arman Avetisyan said today that Minas Avetisyan’s frescos were in danger.

“There is no direct funding and it is ingired now. It was not directly spoken of during the former Minister of Culture, and now we have been asking for more than a month to meet with the newly appointed Minister. ”

To date, the Fund representatives have been waiting for the response from the Ministry of Culture.

Arman Avetisyan stated that Minas Avetisyan’s “Night” fresco was at stake. According to him, all the paintings of Minas Avetisyan should be returned to Gyumri, but there were no conditions for that.

“The problem of the “Night “fresco costs about $ 18-20 thousand and the “Armenia” fresco should be studied yet,” Arman Avetisyan said.

The board chairman suggested to finally collect all the frescoes in one place.

“I suggest creating a monumental museum in Gyumri. This will also stimulate tourism development.”

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
