Armenia Wins PACE’s Stained Glass Window Contest

ARMENIA WINS PACE’S STAINED GLASS WINDOW CONTEST

12:52 ~U 26.06.13

The Armenian government has won the contest for installing stained
glass windows at Council of Europe Parliamentary Assembly’s chamber,
a deputy foreign minister has said, denying an earlier report that
the contest was announced for repairing glasses.

In earlier comments to Tert.am, Zohrab Mnatsakanyan had used the word
glass, which had given way to misunderstandings and misinterpretations.

The author of the windows is the Armenian designer Arevik Petrosyan,
the deputy minister said. But he did not remember the specific amount
of money which the government has spent for making the donation.

Arevik Petrosyan is the daughter of the Armenian coinage painter
Benik Petrosyan. According to Bravo.am, the artist now creates his
pieces on organic glass, using gold and silver. The method has been
described by his daughter as a new trend in the painting art.
